With the new tool, "it will be possible to bring a benchmark in tourism closer to the Z generations (born at the beginning of the 21st century) and Alpha (born from 2010) and turn them into the tourists of the future".

Pérez recalled that Benidorm is the first certified DTI in the world and that “innovation and technology is one of the main points that mark our direction. We are willing to be at the level”.
