No full textThis paper examines, in the broader context of knowledge diffusion, to what extent,
supply and demand governance can contribute to reconciling the ‘high tech- high touch’
dilemma embedded in technology and a destination’s local heritage, respectively. The theoretical
argumentations presented are justified by the findings of IBM’s ‘Advanced Platform
for Smarter Destinations’ project aimed at enhancing SMEs competiveness and intelligent
destination development through a coexistence strategy design. In the context of the Europe
2020 strategy for smart sustainable and inclusive growth the latter is relevant to provide a
level ‘playing field for SMEs’. Smarter Destination Platforms afford, first, the potential to reconfigure
the destination partners’ roles, rules and responsibilities, beyond the internal SME
logic. Second, provide a vehicle for coherent multi-level knowledge diffusion in support of
SMEs’- stakeholders decision making. Third, help cultivate a culture within SME networks,
which bear value propositions aimed at a sustainable, green economy, social cohesion and
competitive SMEs. The challenge of disruptive innovation necessitates destination to become
smarter; sustain themselves by levering the role of ICTs in response to different stakeholders;
develop knowledge and experience converged within a supply and demand governance
model, which enables simple and integrated access that characterize Smarter Destination
Platforms and the destination brands which they serve

No full textThis chapter draws conclusions by stressing that, through the wide
coverage of different perspectives, this book describes the ‘burst’ of the city tourism
concept, showing the several and relatively uncontrollable—and thus difficult to
manage—nuances of tourism(s) in the urban context. In particular, the chapter
discusses what tourism research is supposed to suggest to policymakers. It distinguishes
three plausible scenarios in which the weight of urban tourism in development
strategies may vary, i.e. marginal tourism, dominant tourism and surrogate
tourism, and articulates them by emphasising different features and variations in
how synergies between city tourism and urban development take place
