The 2023 ‘Leading Examples of Smart Tourism Practices in Europe’ is out

The 2023 report ‘Leading Examples of Smart Tourism Practices in Europe’, the go-to guide to smart tourism in the EU, is now available online.

2023 Best Practice report

The European Commission has released its collection of best practices in smart tourism, derived from cities that submitted applications to the European Capital of Smart Tourism 2023 competition, which reveals the most innovative destinations in Europe.
 
The goal of the European Capital of Smart Tourism initiative from the European Commission is to encourage cities to become more sustainable, digital, creative and accessible by recognising destinations that have implemented successful strategies to boost smart and sustainable tourism.

For tourists, this means better experiences, for locals, it means they can make the most out of their city, as well as better jobs, and, for the environment, it means a greener future.
 
The recently published report “Leading examples of Smart Tourism Practices in Europe” showcases the selection of best practices in each category of the European Capital of Smart Tourism initiative (accessibility, sustainability, digitalisation, cultural heritage and creativity).

The report aims to raise awareness about smart tourism tools, initiatives and projects, sharing the best practices in tourism implemented by cities and strengthening peer-to-peer learning and innovative development of tourism.
