Although ICT is a critical enabler for smart tourism destinations, it is insufficient on its own to introduce smartness. The combination of hard and soft smartness components within a S-D logic ecosystem structure holds the potential for sustained competitive advantage and enhancement of quality of life of both residents and tourists in smart tourism destinations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Originality\/value:<\/strong> The paper extends the application of S-D logic to the context of smart tourism destinations, specifically to examine the smartness concept as a means for competitiveness in tourism destinations.<br \/>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.emeraldinsight.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1108\/IJTC-12-2015-0032\">DOWNLOAD PAPER<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smart tourism destinations: ecosystems for tourism destination competitiveness<\/p>\n<p>Kim Boes , Dimitrios Buhalis , Alessandro Inversini (pp. 108 &#8211; 124)<\/p>\n<p>International Journal of Tourism Cities<br \/>\nISSN: 2056-5607<br \/>\nVolume 2 Issue 2<\/p>\n<p>Type: Research paper<br \/>\nKeywords: ICT , Tourism competitiveness , Smart city , Smart tourism destination<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":187,"featured_media":2669,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[133,170,52],"tags":[162,39,108,163,7,121,169],"class_list":["post-2668","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-publication","category-smart-tourism","category-tourism","tag-alessandro-inversini","tag-buetourismlab","tag-ict","tag-kim-boes","tag-prof-dimitrios-buhalis","tag-publication","tag-smart-city"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/etourism-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2668","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/etourism-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/etourism-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/etourism-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/187"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/etourism-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2668"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/etourism-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2668\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2819,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/etourism-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2668\/revisions\/2819"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/etourism-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2669"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/etourism-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/etourism-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2668"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/etourism-lab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
