Tourism is one of Spain’s most important economic engines, representing approximately 13% of the country’s national GDP. However, the sector faces growing challenges such as tourist overcrowding, seasonality, environmental sustainability, and accessibility.
Digitisation and technological innovation are key to addressing these challenges. In this context, Intelligent Tourist Destinations (DTIs) emerge, a new form of management based on data, digital platforms, and advanced tools such as IoT sensing, digital twins, and data spaces.
How can technology transform tourism?
The new Whitepaper on Digital Transformation in Intelligent Tourist Destinations 2025 explores innovative solutions for destinations to optimise resources and improve the tourist experience.
The tourism sector is full of acronyms and technical terms that can be confusing. In this whitepaper on tourism and digitisation, we break down each key concept so that any municipal technician can understand how to take advantage of these initiatives.
Funds and Strategies for DTIs
Tourist destinations in Spain have access to European Next Generation EU funds through initiatives such as the Sustainable Tourism Strategy in Destinations (ESTD) and the Sustainable Tourism Plan in Destinations (PSTD). These funds support digital transformation by developing intelligent platforms, advanced analytics tools, and data-driven governance models.
SEGITTUR has developed the Intelligent Tourist Destination model based on five pillars:
Use Cases: Real applications of digitization in tourism
The tourism industry is undergoing a major digital shift, leveraging technology to enhance visitor experiences, optimize resource management, and drive sustainable growth. This report explores real-world applications of digital transformation in tourism, showcasing innovative use cases that are shaping the future of intelligent destinations.
Through the use case of Smart Beach Management, we can see how the stages are defined from which work packages and aid are developed.
