“…Tourism not only contributes to economic growth but also represents an additional resource, as it has a strong influence on production in other domains of activity (Soare et al, 2019). On the one hand, tourism causes the emergence of activities closely related to it, such as the leisure industry, hospitality, transport, travel agencies and tour operators, local handcraft production and, on the other hand, it fosters the development of new dimensions of existing industries and services: agriculture, food industry, construction, transport, cultural services.…”

The disparities, inequalities as well as the different trajectories of social and economic development that still characterize the regions of the EU today demonstrate the importance of a debate on the spatial dimension of European policies. This paper analyses the implications of strengthening the spatial dimension in the different EU programs, highlighting the importance of the concept of territorial cohesion and the role that a strategic sector such as tourism can play in implementing this concept. Therefore, the added value of tourism and the potential of territorial cohesion should play an important role in future European policies and funding.

“…Tourism data spaces should encourage the maintenance of a triple balance-economic, social, and ecological [26]-and, in turn, foster the catalytic role of tourism in promoting territorial cohesion and competitiveness. This approach implies the capitalization of resources and the development of less developed or transitional areas [27]. By integrating these perspectives, we aim to establish a conceptual framework that not only addresses the current challenges of tourism, but also proposes innovative and sustainable solutions.…”

This article delves deeply into the burgeoning field of Tourism Data Spaces (TDS) in Europe, focusing on how technologies like Big Data and IoT are redefining the tourism sector. This technological shift is steering traditional tourist destinations towards smarter, more sustainable models. The study utilizes a multifaceted approach, combining documentary and bibliographical analysis with empirical data from the EU’s DATES project. By employing the Drivers, Pressures, State, Impacts, Responses (DPSIR) model, it provides a nuanced understanding of the dynamics in TDS. The findings underscore TDS’s pivotal role in improving decision-making and personalizing tourism services. The study also acknowledges the growing need for detailed tourism information to enhance travel planning and experience personalization. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of efficient and secure data management in tourism. This comprehensive analysis points to a future where data-driven insights foster more sustainable, tailored travel experiences. Additionally, the research illuminates both the challenges and prospects inherent in implementing TDS, stressing the importance of clear governance, technical standards, and balancing diverse stakeholder interests in the tourism industry. By addressing these challenges, the article posits that TDS can make a significant contribution to the innovation and sustainability of the tourism sector.

The recent trends in the tourism industry, as well as the attention paid by scholars, practitioners, and institutions, show the relevance of natural tourism as a lever for local development (United Nations World Tourism Organization -UNWTO-, 2005). In this scenario, the business of oleotourism, namely, a form of domestic tourism based on activities related to olive oil production, its tasting, and some connected rural experiences such as harvesting, is continuously—albeit slowly—growing in Europe and especially in the Mediterranean area. Scholars agree that oleotourism plays a key role for multiple reasons, due to its relations to local territories, firms, resources, and other forms of tourism, also favoring sustainable development. Due to the interplay with the local context, the authors plan to combine and compare the evidence from three Mediterranean countries offering examples of tourism initiatives based on olive oil, namely, Spain, Italy, and Croatia. The similarities and differences emerging from the comparison will expand the understanding of this phenomenon and lead to the highlighting of key features and choices in favoring its development in the coming years. Therefore, this research, through the analysis of both theoretical and practical evidences and data from the local contexts, aims to identify additional knowledge for scholars, managers, and policy-makers. The results of the analysis allow the authors to conclude that, although each of the three countries is in a different stage of development, they all have elements that seem to be common to this type of tourism. Finally, it is concluded that oleotourism can be characterized as a form of sustainable tourism, given the preservation of local customs and landscapes, the participation of the resident community, or the development of quality and food safety labels.
