In 2018, the European Union launched the first "European Capital of Smart Tourism" competition. A total of 38 cities from 19 EU Member States submitted their applications. The big winners were Helsinki (Finland) and Lyon (France).
4 other cities received an award:
Ljubljana (Slovenia) for sustainability.
Malaga (Spain) for accessibility.
Copenhagen (Denmark) for Digitalisation
Linz (Austria) for cultural heritage and creativity.
All the applications proposed very interesting aspects and a number of good practices can be drawn from these examples. A document has therefore been prepared to share them. Click here to read the document.
