Abstract

Smart destinations provide value for the tourist experience. Platforms where dialogue arises are important to develop an adequate integration of smart technology as a resource for the cooperative creation of valuable tourist experiences. The incorporation of digital technologies in historical disciplines as a part of humanistic knowledge design is a new paradigm that encourages the creation of innovative content. Taking as a reference the Spanish routes that the war journalists visited during the First Carlista War, it is possible to transform the villages that were protagonists of these historical landmarks as smart tourist destinations. Digital content based on geolocation, GIS developments, apps, audiovisual pieces with videomapping, and augmented reality techniques are the key to bring the traveler the experience in an interactive, personalized, integrative, and participatory environment while the data provided by the different sensors allows measuring their economic and social impact.
