Abstract

In a fully connected world where data freely flows and people can travel anywhere a lot of research has been conducted regarding Smart Mobility, which aims to improve all sorts of traffic matters, from Vehicle Data to Traffic flow management. However, it is also surprising how this topic has been applied in such a small extent to Tourism, an area that can benefit from this kind of research. This paper summarizes the current state of the art regarding Smart Mobility, and exposes useful insights about how this topic might be applied to tourism in order to improve various kinds of tourism services by using Smart Mobility.

This work has been partially funded by the ACIISI and the EU FSE, Programa Operativo Integrado de Canarias 2014–2020, and by the Consejería de Economía, Industria, Comercio y Conocimiento del Gobierno de Canarias (CEI2018-16).
