Functioning

The Smart Tourism Destinations Network is an ambitious, long-term project that aims to promote a new reference framework to grow and increase the competitiveness of the existing Spanish tourism model, while laying the foundations for what will be a new model based on innovation, knowledge, technology, accessibility and shared governance between central, regional and local administrations.

 

Main governing bodies in the Network

The Network is permanently steered and chaired by the Spanish Secretary of State for Tourism and has two main management bodies to guarantee and promote its governance: the Plenary Committee, as the representative body tasked with monitoring compliance with the Protocol, and the Executive Committee, which ensures proper execution with the Protocol.

Both bodies are supported by a Technical Secretariat, a role undertaken by SEGITTUR, which assists them guaranteeing the enforcement of their decisions.

Structure of the Smart Tourism Destinations Network

To achieve these objectives and fulfil its duties, the Smart Tourism Destinations Network operates a structure in which all of its members participate and are represented, and which is also in line with the commitments they assumed when they joined it.

 

 

Network members have the opportunity to take part in its activities through the various working groups, events and forums available. They also have contact and access to useful information on the different topics of the key areas of the Smart Tourist Destination Programme.
