Towards a Sustainable and Connected Tourism: Seeketing at the 5th Turespaña Convention

Written by Boadilla2024.

The tourism sector is in a state of constant and exciting evolution. After years of resilience and adaptation, today more than ever, the debate is focused on building a more sustainable, intelligent, and personalized future for travelers. It is an honor for us to announce that Seeketing will actively participate in this crucial dialogue during the 5th Turespaña Convention, the quintessential meeting point for professionals leading the transformation of tourism in Spain. Tourism is one of the great economic and cultural engines of our country. However, a destination's success is no longer measured solely by the number of visitors it attracts, but by its ability to manage them efficiently and sustainably. The era of intuition has given way to the era of data, where key questions arise for administrations and managers: How do tourists really move through our city? What are the busiest spots and at what times? How long do they stay in the areas of interest? Answering these questions with precision is essential to optimize resources, avoid saturation, and ultimately, justify the investments made. It is precisely within this new paradigm that our technology fits naturally. At Seeketing, we have developed solutions that turn the anonymous behavior of visitors into actionable knowledge for destinations. Our mission is to provide tourism managers with the tools to make informed decisions, primarily through two solutions. On one hand, visitor flow analysis, which with up to 90% accuracy allows for the understanding of movement patterns and lengths of stay. On the other hand, smart proximity marketing, which facilitates direct communication with tourists to boost local commerce and enhance their experience. Our participation in the 5th Turespaña Convention is not just to showcase our technology, but to listen, debate, and collaborate on building the Smart Tourist Destinations of tomorrow. We firmly believe in a future where data serves to create a more respectful, beneficial, and enriching tourism. We will be delighted to converse with all professionals in the sector to explore how we can help your destination take the next step in its digital transformation. See you at the Convention!

The Future of Tourism: Smart, Accessible, and Profitable

Written by Boadilla2024.

Tourism has evolved. Today's travelers aren't just looking for a beautiful place; they're looking for an experience that's fluid, personalized, and barrier-free. For municipalities, this means success is no longer measured solely by the number of visitors but by the quality of their experience. This is where smart and accessible tourism becomes a necessity. Smart tourism uses technology like the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence to optimize the management of tourism resources and offer real-time services. This allows cities to be more efficient. But what happens if this technology isn't accessible to everyone? That's where accessibility comes into play. A truly modern destination must ensure that people with disabilities, seniors, families with strollers, and anyone with special needs can enjoy the same experience. Accessibility isn't a cost; it's a strategic investment that opens up a global market of over 1 billion people. The combination of both concepts, smart and accessible tourism, creates a "phygital" destination that adapts to each person's needs, enhancing its reputation, boosting the local economy, and fostering fairer and more sustainable tourism. Seeketing: The Solution That Connects Your Destination At Seeketing, we have created our own proprietary proximity marketing technology that is the key to making smart and accessible tourism a reality in your municipality. Unlike solutions that rely on apps or Bluetooth, our system uses smart nodes strategically installed throughout the destination. These nodes anonymously detect signals from mobile devices, without the tourist needing to download anything. How do we do it? Our technology allows us to understand tourist behavior in the physical world: where they walk, where they stop, and for how long. This information is crucial for optimizing tourism management, but its true value lies in instant, contextual communication. Imagine a tourist with reduced mobility approaching a point of interest. As they pass one of our nodes, they automatically receive a message on their mobile via WhatsApp or SMS. This message tells them the most accessible route, where to find an elevator, or a suitable restroom. The information is immediate, relevant, and requires no extra steps. The benefits of our solution are tangible: Improves the visitor experience: We offer useful and personalized information in real time, making the visit more comfortable and safe for everyone. Promotes inclusion: Our system removes digital and physical barriers, allowing people with visual, auditory, or motor disabilities to move around with complete independence. Enhances proximity marketing: With our data, local businesses can send offers or information to tourists when they are nearby, increasing their sales and strengthening the local economy. Optimizes management: The data on footfall and behavior allows us to understand which areas are most popular and at what times, helping with better resource and service planning. The future of tourism is smart and, above all, inclusive. At Seeketing, we are ready to help your municipality lead this transformation. With our technology, you can offer an unprecedented tourist experience, attracting more visitors and building a reputation as a modern and responsible destination.

From Rural Exodus to Co-creating Destinations

Written by Boadilla2024.

The problem of depopulation in Spain has a visible and devastating face every summer: forest fires. The lack of people in the countryside has led to the abandonment of agriculture and livestock farming, leaving behind neglected land that becomes the perfect fuel for fire. Depopulation and fires are two sides of the same coin. To reverse this situation, good intentions aren't enough. We need data and technology that allow us to intelligently revitalize these areas. Tools that unite the physical and digital worlds are key to achieving this. It's not just about attracting more people, but about understanding them, listening to them, and making them part of the change. These platforms allow for the anonymous analysis of people's flows and, based on that data, initiate an instant and contextualized dialogue. Imagine a tourist arriving in a village who, minutes later, receives a notification on their phone welcoming them. That simple message is the start of a conversation that provides valuable information instantly. With proximity marketing technology, we can go beyond simple promotion. We can use it to engage visitors by sending them instant questionnaires and surveys to get their real-time opinion on services or the quality of the environment. We can also ask them to suggest what the destination needs to be more attractive, from better accommodation to co-working spaces or more leisure options. By involving people in decision-making, we not only get valuable data, but we also create a sense of belonging that encourages them to return and recommend the place. By combining flow analysis with the ability to communicate directly with visitors, we transform promotion into a co-creation platform. Visitors stop being just a number and become active partners in the development of rural Spain. With this approach, we can build more attractive and sustainable destinations, tailored to those who visit them. It is an opportunity to restore the life and care that our mountains need, so that, hopefully, they will stop burning.
