Turism

It should be recognised that the best response to the strain on specific services or areas is not solely a matter of the system’s capacity, but also involves managing and regulating demand and tourism practices. Managing demand is undoubtedly complex and requires having accurate and current data. 

Technological solutions are considered key partners in generating knowledge. The widespread use of big data analysis, social media and the ability to obtain real-time data presents an opportunity to improve management, optimise services and minimise the impact on the urban fabric in high tourist traffic areas.

Applying the most suitable technological solution for data generation in different high tourist traffic areas will allow us to identify patterns of mobility, consumption, space usage and tourism practices. This will help design urban policies, improve urban space management, and minimise negative externalities.
