Implementation of smart destinations in the department of Meta: solution or challenge? Implementación de destinos turísticos inteligentes en el departamento del Meta: ¿solución o desafío?

Abstract

The tourism sector has become a promising activity that improves territorial conditions and growth in destinations. As a result of this great potential, an avant-garde alternative was designed that follows the same digital line of the current world and of Internet travelers; this refers to smart destinations, generated by the Spanish Government in 2012, as an alternative to strengthen destinations and make them more competitive. Thus, this article analyzes the conditions of the Meta department to determine its progress, with respect to the DTI model. The methodology used is exploratory - deductive with a mixed approach, resorting to secondary sources to provide an approximation of the territory. In this way, it could be concluded that, of course, DTIs are a great solution for destinations that adopt this model, but with respect to the Department, it is not yet ready.
