Abstract

Los destinos son considerados marcas que deben gestionarse adecuadamente para aumentar, no sólo la llegada de turistas, sino también la calidad de vida de los residentes. El valor de marca juega un papel importante en el logro de tales objetivos. Simultáneamente, la integración de las TIC en el territorio ha llevado al concepto de "destinos inteligentes". En este contexto, el objetivo del trabajo es desarrollar un modelo de valor de los destinos inteligentes desde la perspectiva de los residentes (actor clave de los destinos ya que proyectan su imagen e influyen en la experiencia turística). En particular, nuestro modelo incluye servicios inteligentes relacionados con seguridad, salud, patrimonio, movilidad y medio ambiente. Nuestros resultados confirman que el valor del destino inteligente está formado por el reconocimiento, imagen, calidad percibida y lealtad. Además, los servicios de seguridad, medio ambiente y movilidad son los principales antecedentes del valor del destino inteligente.Tourist destinations are increasingly considered as brands that need to be managed to increase not only the arrivals of tourists, but also the quality-of-life of residents. Thus, brand equity plays an important role in the achievement of those objectives. Simultaneously, the integration of ICT has leaded to the concept of “smart tourist destinations”. With this in mind, the main goal of our paper is to develop a model of smart destination equity from the point of view of residents (i.e. a key stakeholder of tourist destinations since they project the image of their places and influence the tourist experience). In particular, our model includes smart services linked to safety, health, heritage, mobility, and environment. Our results confirm that smart destination equity is formed by awareness, image, perceived quality, and loyalty. In addition, smart services related to safety, the environment and mobility are the main factors influencing smart destination equity.
