With the rapid growth of technology, the world is witnessing a change from sustainability valuation towards smart city goals in the 21st century. Cities can play an imperative role in combating and countering climate change by using novel smart technologies which would help in reducing emission of greenhouse gases and will further enhance the energy proficiency of the cities. The current study aims to understand the perception of the local residents of a tourism destination, Jammu in India, towards the effect of dimensions of the smart city on sustainable development. The hypotheses proposed in the study were validated by utilizing the SEM (Structural Equation Modeling), with the assistance of Partial Least Squares (PLS). The study found that all three dimensions (namely, smart economy, smart environment, and smart society) are significant predictors of sustainable development. The findings resulted from the data collected with the help of a questionnaire from the local residents of Jammu city which is being developed as a smart city by the government of India.

“…La pandemia ha reavivado las discusiones y generado numerosos documentos que vuelven a enfatizar en cómo hacer para que el turismo sea más sostenible, en proponer estrategias relacionadas con la promoción de prácticas y consumos de turismo sostenible (Tauber & Bausch, 2022), en la necesidad de la inclusión de la comunidad en las prácticas de sostenibilidad y en la alineación de los productos/servicios turísticos con los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible (Rodrigues et al, 2022). El acervo bibliográfico también observa el problema desde la otra orilla de la oferta, esto es, desde los propios turistas que requieren practicar hábitos más sostenibles (Goh, 2021).…”

Este artículo sistematiza la literatura sobre el Covid-19 en la industria turística. El uso de una ecuación de búsqueda en Scopus® permitió identificar la cartografía científica a partir de 527 artículos publicados entre enero de 2020 y mayo de 2022, la cual aporta actualidad y pertinencia frente a estudios similares encontrados en la bibliografía disponible. La descripción está conformada por dos temáticas principales: (a) impactos del Covid-19en los diferentes actores que hacen parte de la cadena turística y (b) impactos del Covid-19 en las unidades productivas relacionadas con turismo. Los resultados muestran que las investigaciones realizadas hasta el momento se han enfocado en descripciones principalmente teóricas, con una clara ausencia de estudios empíricos que sustenten dichas descripciones, por ejemplo, un turismo más incluyente, sostenible y responsable. De estamanera, la investigación futura en temas de turismo y el Covid-19 está llamada a presentar evidencia empírica que permita conocer si las descripciones cumplen o no, y de qué manera, con los desafíos de inclusión, sostenibilidad y responsabilidad. Este artículo finaliza presentando nueve líneas para investigaciones futuras.

“…The COVID-19 consequences on tourism and its impact on local communities is explored in different studies and different countries around the world, e.g. in Spain and Portugal (Rodrigues et al, 2022), Brunei (Chin et al, 2023) and California (Hardesty, 2020), to name a few. In this manner, this research will investigate the relation between rural tourism and digital technologies; what can these technologies contribute to rural areas in terms of provision and development of rural tourism, especially in relation to sustainable development and consequently to marketing promotion amidst such events as COVID-19.…”

The coronavirus pandemic has reinforced the need for sustainable, smart tourism and local travel, with rural destinations gaining in their popularity and leading to increased potential of smart rural tourism. However, these processes need adjustments to the current trends, incorporating new transformative business concepts and marketing approaches. In this paper we provide real life examples of new marketing approaches, together with new business models within the context of the use of new digital technologies. Via hermeneutic research approach, consisting of the secondary analysis of the addressed subject of smart rural tourism in adversity of the COVID-19 and 6 semi-structured interviews, the importance of technology is underscored in transforming rural tourism to smart rural tourist destinations. The respondents in the interview section were chosen based on their direct involvement in the presented examples and geographical location, i.e. France, Slovenia and Spain, where presented research examples were developed, concretely within European programmes, i.e. Interreg, Horizon and Rural Development Programme (RDP). Interviews were taking place between 2022 and 2023 in person, email or via Zoom. This two-phased study demonstrates that technology is important in transforming rural tourism to smart tourist destinations and that it ushers new approaches that seem particularly useful in applying to rural areas, creating a rural digital innovation ecosystem, which acts as s heuristic rural tourist model that fosters new types of tourism, i.e. smart rural tourism.
