Context
Smart tourism is an approach to tourism that utilizes smart technologies, renewable energy sources, and digital technologies to create sustainable, efficient, and personalized experiences for tourists. Smart technologies can be used to optimize various aspects of the tourism industry, such as transportation, accommodation, and visitor management. Renewable energy sources can be used to power these technologies and reduce the environmental impact of tourism. Digital technologies, such as mobile apps and virtual reality, can be used to enhance the visitor experience by providing real-time information and personalized recommendations. Sustainable tourism is a topic of growing importance. While tourism offers many benefits, such as the creation of new jobs, tourism-related CO2 emissions are a concern in face of climate change. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we travel, and both allows and requires change in the tourism sector. The digital and green transitions provide opportunities to transform the tourism sector and make it more sustainable, as well as adapt to these challenges.
