Presentation
The Chair in Tourism Intelligence was created to respond to the challenges of digital transformation and technological adoption in the tourism sector.
The Chairs main objective is to promote the implementation of projects and activities that allow for the incorporation of technologies and innovations aimed at the digitization of processes and the creation of products and services in the tourism sector, thereby contributing to the development of more innovative, smart and sustainable management of tourism.
In this era of tourism intelligence and digital disruption, one of the main challenges for tourism is to increase the use of technologies throughout the value chain of tourism products and services. The Chair will facilitate interaction and collaboration between sectors and agents in order to underpin the sustainable growth of tourism.
The cooperation between the Antonio de Nebrija University and Telefónica Móviles España will mean clear advances in the digitization of the tourism sector, which is key to the Spanish economy.
Objectives of the Chair
- Connect academic knowledge and social commitment focused on the development of transformative projects that guide a more inclusive, sustainable and resilient tourism of the future.
- Generate greater knowledge and increase the use of digital technologies that clear the entire value chain, from R&D to the consumption of tourist services.
- Promote the generation, exchange and management of data as strategic factors for the competitiveness of companies and tourist destinations.
- Promote actions to support university talent and the transfer of social impact.
