The Smart Tourist Destination as a Smart City Project

A number of cities around the world have begun to implement smart destination projects with the aim of improving the standard of living of their citizens, as well as the sustainability of their urban and tourist areas, which has led to the emergence of the smart city and smart tourist destination concept. The effects of technology on cities and tourist destinations has led to the emergence of new management approaches that aim to adapt planning processes to the challenges and opportunities of the changing intelligent environment. Smart city and smart tourism destination approaches aim to improve management efficiency, residents’ quality of life and tourism experiences. They also make it easier to understand the interaction between the smart city and the smart destination in terms of the type of planning instruments implemented in urban and tourist areas. The aim of this research is to seek a consensus on the impact of integrating a smart tourism strategy into a smart city.
