The VI Meeting of Managers of the Intelligent Tourist Destinations Network (RedDIT), held in Tenerife, has highlighted the importance of digitization and sustainability in the tourism sector.
Intelligent Destination Platform (PID)
One of the central themes was the presentation of the Intelligent Platform of Destinations (PID). This platform, developed by the State Secretariat of Tourism through SEGITTUR, aims to integrate public and private data to generate competitive intelligence in the ecosystems of Spanish destinations. The PID will provide personalized information for each destination and will address six key categories: general, economy, transport, accommodation, sustainability and tourist knowledge.
Digitization projects
During the meeting, the managers shared the digitization projects that they have launched with funds from the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan of the Government of Spain. Destinations such as Rota, Lanzarote, Deputação de Palencia and Alcobendas presented their initiatives to drive digital transformation in the tourism sector.
Sustainability as a key element
Managers agreed that sustainability is crucial to the present and future of tourism. Efficient resource management and the promotion of decarbonization and the circular economy are essential for improving competitiveness and revaluing this sector vital to the Spanish economy.
