The origin of Smart Destinations
The origin of smart destinations, we find it in The White Paper “Smart Destinations: Building the Future”, prepared by SEGITTUR and promoted by the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism, through the National and Comprehensive Tourism Plan (PNIT ) 2012-2015.
The Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism decides to bet in 2012 on the transformation of the Spanish tourism model based on the concepts of governance, innovation, technology, sustainability and accessibility to guarantee the present and future of tourism in Spain.
In this way, the Smart Tourist Destination model emerges at a time when the environment is uncertain and changing and demand is what sets the rules of the game, being much more informed, connected and having multiple channels to do so.
The need to attend, therefore, to the billions of tourists who visit both Spain and many of the destinations worldwide and being aware that tourism policies have to evolve from promotion to management, everyone’s goal has that be aimed at contributing effectively to the orderly evolution of the territories in the coming years.
