Smart Cities and Tourism

Abstract

Smart cities are places where services and networks are made more efficient with use of different types of electronic methods and digital solutions for the advantage of its locals and businesses. The gathered information and big data are then used to manage assets, resources, and services efficiently to improve the operations across the city. Smartness is about networks of interconnected entities that collaborate to develop the collective competitiveness of the ecosystem. Smart Cities and Tourism: Co-creating experiences, challenges and opportunities provides new insights into the current issues, opportunities, and concepts for the next generation of urban evolution.
