Essay on the intelligent tourist region

An article by Jean-Baptiste Soubaigné, Guest Editor
Go around again in the columns of the blog is a pleasure and now the idea is to share with you a steaming reflection scratching my brain for a while and resurfaced in recent weeks.
Simply put in the first lines, I try to understand how to adapt the concept of smart cities, Smartcities to more rural areas, with a tourism vision.
 
The concept of destination so quickly appears and the "Smart Destination" too. That said, we will keep a rather neutral term "smart tourist territory." See no notion trademark or framework defined in this expression, I agree with you just humbly state my thinking at that moment, which I hope will feed our discussions.
In a recent speech, I had to deal with the theme "The etourisme, facilitator of opening up territories tool." Nah, nah, it was not for the test of history and geography of the tank but for an evening dedicated to ebuisness. And by analyzing the theme appeared the key concepts that titillate our daily devoted to the service of tourism development: tourism, digital, planning, attractiveness, accessibility, transportation, development, human, collaboration, innovation, destination ...
While preparing this presentation are forwarded to the eve of the announcement event "The international forum of the human Smart City" , the article by François Perroy an introduction to the concept of smart cities and others things (I'll let you set eg "Connected City" on Google Alerts and you will see the site).
Finally, be sure that you return well in my brain, everything is cradled and leached by (SADI) reception and dissemination of information schema tourist destinations where the tourist office is one of the entities Serving both consumers (inhabitants and tourists), professionals, communities and the country.
SADI
Here's an introduction to getting butt-bounce rate and if you are still there simply start again the following problem: how to move towards smart especially outside urban tourist areas?

Smartcities and Smart Destinations

On smart cities, there is a lot of material and it's very hard not to get lost as the concept may look like a tote. I guess besides the well infinissables debates purists around the semantics of the concept.
For the Smart Destination, destination or intelligent, that's more complex. Once we remove the commercial offerings such as Smart City Pass Destination USA and communication plans as to Alicante Smart Destinations , we quickly find the same sources as for Smartcities. There are still some discussions held particularly among Spanish neighbors but then again, everyone does their own cursor.
So with sustainable development and energy input, the Balantia firm offers a simplified diagram:
Destination + Sustainable Energy + Profitability and dynamism = Smart Destination
By positioning the entire tourism chain, the company Smart Destinations produces a very rich ecosystem.

A smart tourist territory or intelligent management of a tourist area

The challenge is to keep a tourist view on the subject and avoid going in all directions and therefore I propose a test on the subject with a scheme to keep the wire. The central block for interacting peripheral entities.
Intelligent tourist region
If tourism is a way to boost territories and create wealth, then digital is an opportunity to facilitate and accelerate the process. Through its tools, it creates new forms of consumption as the consumer is also a producer and both self-feeding.

Development and digital services

Also, the smart tourist territory, the digital does not appear in the services but especially in the land while allowing a new appropriation of it by tourists and locals. Access to the network and to the internet via wifi territorial example, is therefore a priority for the famous "relationship and interactive mobile user" defined in the smart city. Part of the internet to stay fully nourished this approach.
The famous cycle of the traveler, slapstick MVP etourisme but super efficient, lets dissect the customer scenario which is based on an area of ​​consumption, physical and digital.
For the locals and tourists, the area of ​​consumption is then more or less accessible, visible, attractive, provided for infrastructure, transport, local services or by accommodation deals and tourism.
Development and digital services

Intermodality

Strongly linked in the previous paragraph, the second aspect is the accessibility of the region, the possibility of roaming on it and ease intermodality. For tourism, knowledge flows and gateways clientele is a starting point. It is not also not trivial if the TER SNCF and forge a dialogue with institutional professionals in tourism and culture for optimizing transport around events and places to visit and then reinforce Train / bike interactions. The solution flows Vision proposed by Orange to ADT / CDT also addresses this issue.

Destination

The third aspect is of course destinations because that territory is not going to either be fixed and defined, either physically and on the web. The concept of destination thus entering heart in thinking with perceived and consumed by the tourist destination and lived by the inhabitants destination. Thus scales tourist destinations and administrative territories overlap and intertwine with the key discontinuity of services offered to consumers (inhabitants and tourists). In conjunction with the digital development, the challenge is to enable tourists to access local services.
Innovate, adapt and work together in cross without administrative boundaries, is not a good idea but a necessity.

Collaborative Consumption and classic tourist economy

"Innovate, adapt and work together," this formula also serves as a transition for this fourth aspect.
On the same territorial base, a destination, is now mix both models. One classic, based on the tourist offer framed by labels, classifications, standards, and the second more flexible and adaptable based on the customer experience, collaborative, recommendations.
Besides the "classic tourist economy" modes of collaborative consumption must be fully integrated into the ecosystem of smart tourist territory.
For example, to make it attractive, visible, accessible, intelligent tourist region combines Accommodation offer SIT identified in a complementary offer this on Airbnb, HouseTrip, Le Bon Coin and consort. At large events such as festivals, this offer then knows consolidate by specific partnerships such as with the platform Yosh Festival . Carpooling, car loan and other private initiatives of collaborative consumption in tourism complete the offer of the territory that communicates destination.
Resident and local consumers become in their turn tools and services created by communities.
Collaborative Consumption

Sustainable management

This area of ​​consumption, if we want smart, sustainable it is necessary and communicating. This is notably one of the principles of Smartcities where the infrastructure is able to produce and transmit the data to be analyzed for optimal management of the resource. Traffic, parking, hotels, places to visit, street furniture, tourist offices (...) all concerned.
In terms of sustainable resource management on a smart tourist territory, a real commitment professional institutional and private tourism on responsible drinking will be concrete indicators. Again, beyond the labels, the goal will be reached when this brick "Sustainable" is no longer presented separately but directly integrated throughout the value chain of tourism.

Data and Customer Experience

Smart Destinations Smart'tourist but with a tourist connected and waiting for services and information that come to him. The management of this data, it is big with Philippe Fabry and Smart with Paul Fabing , create new opportunities for tourism and customer and local consumption experiences.
I pause to draw a parallel with a topic, which could be called "Data and Quality of Life", relying on Article I saw out the day before yesterday and in which Florent Guitard city ​​is a tool of the OECD to compare the quality of life of the regions in the world . A social axis that could supplement my thinking. Close the parenthesis.

Experimentation

Finally, I add a pinch of innovation support through brick "Experimentation," the anti-drug nervousness! It will be supported by a political commitment - "We want to become the champions of m-tourism" as pointed Fleur Pellerin earlier this month - supported by public funding such as two calls for proposals for innovative enhancement of heritage the Aquitaine region , but also by financing with equity crowdfunding platforms .
I stop here this introduction (or what neural unpacking :)) and see if behind it, there is nothing to engage in "disruptive" ideas (to poke ticket Pierre on the disruptive model ) for creativity and conviction arguments for policy makers and partners.
Indeed you may have noticed, I have not yet decided where to position the tourist office in this scheme: an entity like the others or the director of this ecosystem?
FYI, the presentation I mentioned at the beginning of the article
