“…This means that in establishing a smart city policy it involves all parties, both shareholders and stakeholders in a region. More than that, whether the formulation of smart city policy issues is the collective awareness of every public official and civil servant, private sector, and the people of the area (Ivars-Baidal et al, 2023).…”

“…The emergence of the concept of "Smart Tourism Destinations" has its roots in the creation and evolution of "Smart Cities" [62]. Indeed, the notion of "Smart Destinations" began to gain relevance a decade after the popularisation of smart cities, adopting practices and learnings from these optimised urban spaces [63].…”

This article delves deeply into the burgeoning field of Tourism Data Spaces (TDS) in Europe, focusing on how technologies like Big Data and IoT are redefining the tourism sector. This technological shift is steering traditional tourist destinations towards smarter, more sustainable models. The study utilizes a multifaceted approach, combining documentary and bibliographical analysis with empirical data from the EU’s DATES project. By employing the Drivers, Pressures, State, Impacts, Responses (DPSIR) model, it provides a nuanced understanding of the dynamics in TDS. The findings underscore TDS’s pivotal role in improving decision-making and personalizing tourism services. The study also acknowledges the growing need for detailed tourism information to enhance travel planning and experience personalization. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of efficient and secure data management in tourism. This comprehensive analysis points to a future where data-driven insights foster more sustainable, tailored travel experiences. Additionally, the research illuminates both the challenges and prospects inherent in implementing TDS, stressing the importance of clear governance, technical standards, and balancing diverse stakeholder interests in the tourism industry. By addressing these challenges, the article posits that TDS can make a significant contribution to the innovation and sustainability of the tourism sector.

Smart Cities and Citizen Adoption: Exploring Tourist Digital Maturity for Personalizing Recommendations

Due to the irruption of new technologies in cities such as mobile applications, geographic information systems, internet of things (IoT), Big Data, or artificial intelligence (AI), new approaches to citizen management are being developed. The primary goal is to adapt citizen services to this evolving technological environment, thereby enhancing the overall urban experience. These new services can enable city governments and businesses to offer their citizens a truly immersive experience that facilitates their day-to-day lives and ultimately improves their standard of living. In this arena, it is important to emphasize that all investments in infrastructure and technological developments in Smart Cities will be wasted if the citizens for whom they have been created eventually do not use them for whatever reason. To avoid these kinds of problems, the citizens’ level of adaptation to the technologies should be evaluated. However, although much has been studied about new technological developments, studies to validate the actual impact and user acceptance of these technological models are much more limited. This work endeavors to address this deficiency by presenting a new model of personalized recommendations based in the technology acceptance model (TAM). To achieve the goal, this research introduces an assessment system for tourists’ digital maturity level (DMT) that combines a fuzzy 2-tuple linguistic model and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). This approach aims to prioritize and personalize the connection and communication between tourists and Smart Cities based on the digital maturity level of the tourist. The results have shown a significant correlation between technology usage and the potential for personalized experiences in the context of tourism and Smart Cities.
