| Abstract | This chapter links the issues of accessibility and smartness in tourism in Spain, taking the study conducted by Ivars-Baidal et al. (Sustainable tourism indicators: What’s new within the smart city/destination approach? J Sustain Tour 31, 1556–1582 https://doi.org/10.1080/09669582.2021.1876075, 2021b) as a point of departure. Said study analyzes the planning instruments applied in smart strategies in 69 Spanish cities, focusing on how sustainability indicators are considered under the smart paradigm. Along the same lines, one of the objectives of this chapter is to identify and collect data referring to initiatives, good practices and awards on accessible tourism applied to those cities. The cities and destinations that have been awarded have made improvements in the mobility, communication, or information of people with disabilities. In this sense, this text constitutes a first approach to the discussion about the relationship between accessibility and smart city/destination plans, as conditions that can help cities to improve accessibility conditions through an accessibility prize or become smarter by implementing a smart destination plan (considering that accessibility constitutes one of the dimensions of the smart model). This study paves the way for future research the legacy of cities that “became” smart, and the relationship of this smartness with accessible tourism. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023. |
