Description of the research topic:
The term ‘Smart city’ can be explained in broad horizon. Globalization, rapid technological development, considerable socio-economic transitions and diminishing welfare expenditures of states and local governments result in new conditions for cities that have to face new challenges all over the world. Smart city concepts and solutions do not refer only to smart technology-based solutions for local citizens and companies, but these new approaches can contribute to a more sustainable city-models. Smart city do not only mean IT-solutions, but – in a wider sense – it is a city management philosophy and toolkit that help more effective and efficient local government activities.
Tourism development plays an important role in regional development and in smart city development too. Smart solutions in tourism can help not only foreign and domestic tourist during their free time activities in cities, but it can contribute to the welfare and wellbeing of the locals and can generate additional local investments, thus facilitate the local economies (and generate local tax revenues).
Doctoral students will research - in the framework of this topic - the smart city-related problems in tourism. After studying the international literature and analyzing international examples of smart tourism-related solutions students have to conduct primary research on a selected city. Based on the secondary and primary researches, they have to build an own model on smart tourism development and have to adapt it into an existing smart city model.
