Benidorm has been chosen as a model of smart tourist destination to participate in the summer course of Menéndez Pelayo International University (UIMP), which is held in Santander in the middle of this month and which is jointly organized by Segittur and the City Council of the Cantabrian capital.

" Representatives of UNE, Red.es, Invattur, AMETIC and Predif will also attend the event

Pérez pointed out that in this summer course "we will be able to show the model and experience of Benidorm" in the way that has allowed it to become the first certified DTI in the world, and to do it from an explanatory, guiding and training perspective.

The Secretary of State for Tourism, Isabel Oliver, will be in charge of inaugurating the course, which aims to share the essential concepts of smart tourist destination and the model of diagnosis and strategic planning, offering a global vision of the DTI methodology to contribute to the continuous improvement of tourist destinations.
