This new infrastructure will also represent an effective tool for the updated and detailed diagnosis of tourist activity and to be able to analyze the situation in real time.
The industrial data space for tourism is proposed as a digital infrastructure so that the sector begins to work together through a data and reference architecture and without losing the sovereignty of its data.

From an operational point of view, it is intended to move towards predictive models and decision support systems. From a strategic point of view, it is about developing public policies and tourism plans based on evidence that allow the effectiveness of the actions to be traced.

Reyes Maroto advances the creation of an intelligent destination platform that places our country at the forefront of tourism digitization

The Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, Reyes Maroto, has intervened in the closing of the Digital Tourist 2021 held in Benidorm where the creation of an intelligent destination platform has advanced, a project with which Spain wants to place itself at the forefront of the tourist countries for its commitment to the digitization of the tourist experience and the integration of the service.

During his speech, Reyes Maroto highlighted that this tool places technology at the center of tourism policy. “In 2019 we connect destinations through the DTI network and in 2021 we want to be more ambitious: digitally connect destinations with tourists and, in turn, with companies, in such a way that a unique tourism intelligence system is generated that place us at the forefront of tourism competitiveness ”.

The objective of the platform will be to integrate, relate and combine public and private data to generate more competitive and business intelligence and thus activate models of continuous adaptation, interconnecting and meeting the needs of all agents of the tourism value chain: tourists, destinations and companies. For Maroto, "it is not only the development of a technological solution, it is the commitment to an intelligent and innovative way of working in the public and private sectors".

In this way, digitization and artificial intelligence are positioned as a lever to modernize our tourism model and for this, 130 million euros will be allocated from the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan. It is planned to last 6 months for its development and the first steps will be the deployment of the DTI self-assessment module, a georeferencing pilot and connection of the whole of the tourist offer with the destination managers, as well as the approval and Deployment of the platform model to a set of key destinations.

Intelligent destination platform

With this tool, a digital ecosystem is generated that will allow optimization of costs and deployment times, facilitating the use of metrics and interconnecting and meeting the needs of all agents in the sector.

For their part, the traveler will be able to interact through the platform with the destination and its companies, maintaining fidelity with the offer before, during and after the trip through different channels, such as social networks, the web or apps.

From the destination point of view, the platform responds to the main challenges encountered in its continuous transformation process. From promotion in markets, tourist information (cultural and activities offer), interaction with tourists during their stay (mobility, waste, security, hours and characteristics of services, health information, etc.) to physical and digital behavior of the tourist with analysis by tourist seasons, by segments or by applying predictive intelligence.

Lastly, for companies, the platform accelerates their business digitization process, both commercially and in management processes, and strengthens the technical preparation of workers. Also providing tools to generate better value propositions and their publication in the best channels for their promotion. Added to that is business intelligence, which allows you to compare your situation with respect to similar businesses in the destination and other competing destinations.

The project is an initiative in favor of technological sovereignty and competitiveness of Spanish tourism based on profitability, the cohesion of the sector and the generation of knowledge to address the challenge of the digital transformation of Spanish tourism in its social, economic and environmental levels. .

TURESPAÑA presents a data viewer for the recovery of tourism issuing markets

The Spanish Tourism Institute (TURESPAÑA), a body dependent on the Secretary of State for Tourism, today presented a new panel with the most relevant and recent data on the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic, the rate of vaccination achieved, the evolution of flight searches to Spain carried out from all over the world and from each of the markets analyzed, and data on the perception of safety in Spain as a destination.

Aimed at professionals in the tourism sector, it brings together data from up to 30 of the most relevant countries for Spain as source of tourism in a single graphic visualization platform.

The panel collects, in relation to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the 14-day incidence rates per 100,000 inhabitants in each of the markets contemplated and in Spain and the percentages of the population that have received a dose of the vaccine, as well as the percentage of those who have received the complete vaccination schedule, all of which refer to the last 8 weeks.

Flight search evolution

In relation to flight searches, this tool reflects the evolution of the daily search variation index for roundtrip or multi-destination flights to Spain, in a 7-day moving average from the selected country or countries, during the last 8 weeks compared with identical weeks of 2020.

The application allows both the consultation of the global data and the data of each country, being possible the simultaneous selection and comparison of up to 10 markets of origin. This index has been developed in collaboration with the flight meta-search engine “Skyscanner” and will be operational until August 31, 2021.

Perception of security

Finally, the panel includes a fourth graph that reflects the variation index of the perception of safety in Spain as a tourist destination.

This index measures the level of trust shown by visitors and potential visitors to our country and is calculated using natural language processing techniques, artificial intelligence and machine learning, on millions of spontaneous and real-time tourist mentions on social networks. This index is the result of TURESPAÑA's collaboration with the Spanish “big data” analysis company MABRIAN and with MASTERCARD Spain.

On the other hand, and simultaneously, TURESPAÑA has presented a series of 3 dynamic reports that reflect in an interactive and simple graphical interface, annual information on the flow of travelers and characteristics of tourists, as well as monthly information on the situation, from 26 of the main source markets for tourism to Spain. This information reflects different statistical sources and estimates based on them from 2016 to the latest available date.

The Government thus makes new market intelligence tools available to the Spanish tourism sector, aligned with the commitment to improve the tourism knowledge and intelligence model included in the Plan for the Promotion of the Spanish Tourism Sector.
