abstract = {This paper aimed to investigate the response of smart tourism destinations (STDs) to
the COVID-19 crisis, specifically regarding sustainability, which—along with information, new
technologies, and governance—is a key element of STDs. First, we conducted a brief literature
review regarding tourism sustainability. Secondly, we performed a case study of several STDs to
determine the sustainable actions implemented in response to the current crisis, the results of which
are presented in this paper. Thirdly, we assessed these STDs’ primary sustainability actions and
developed a strategy proposal that can be followed by destinations in similar situations. This proposal
is intended to be evaluated by the studied STDs for validation or adaptation. Far from a definitive
solution, our proposal was designed as one possible tool to avoid the disorganisation and uncertainty
suffered in crisis situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic},
organization = {This research was carried out as part of a postdoctoral fellowship. We would like
to thank the managers of the surveyed smart tourism destinations who contributed to the elaboration
of this document},
