Abstract
All things that are improved or integrated with technology are referred to as ”smart” in marketing terminology. Smart cities are one intelligent idea that has been more popular recently. It primarily focuses on harnessing information and communication technologies (ICTs) to improve residents (QoL). The purpose of this study is to investigate the aspects that, aside from technology, are essential to the growth of smart cities and smart tourism destinations. This paper proposes a framework for smart cities and tourism destinations using a multitude of case studies. According to this exploratory study, the core ideas of intelligence are social capital, leadership, and invention, all of which are bolstered by human capital. ICTs and technology applications serve as facilitators, supporting the fundamental ideas of smart destinations. The findings pave the way for talking about how to apply ”smartness” to the degrees of travel and destinations.
This study aims to explore whether the smart city paradigm can be advantageous for the city of Hurghada. In order to address technological hurdles and match the requirements of the smart tourism city, the research also stresses the adoption of a new strategy to creating cities by depending on technology systems, information and communication technologies, services, and social care. It also highlights how crucial it is to turn conventional tourist spots into smart tourist cities.
This investigation was carried out using a descriptive analytical technique. A survey was prepared and distributed to 105 experts in the domains of communications and information technology, in addition to experts from the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and other university researchers. Regression analysis, descriptive statistics, and Pearson correlation analysis were employed with SPSS 25.0 to assess the information. The analysis conducted indicated a noteworthy and affirmative correlation between Hurghada’s potential to adopt the smart city model and the advantages that the city will experience upon its transition into a smart city. Therefore, our study suggests that Hurghada be considered a valuable seaside destination in Egypt when considering smart cities.
