Journal Title: Smart Tourism - Year 2021, Vol 2, Issue 1

Abstract

The objective of this research work is to define the requirements needed to transform the City of Hernandarias and the Itaipu Tourist Complex, on the Paraguayan side, as intelligent tourist destinations (ITD). It was based on a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional approach with an exploratory scope. The unit of analysis was the urban center of Hernandarias and the Tourist Complex, in order to gather information on their potential and the fulfillment of the action proposals required in an ITD. The instrument used was a checklist of 15 attributes with a total of 44 criteria, distributed in 6 proposals for action (PA), yielding the following main results: 92% compliance with PA2 (Technological developments applied to Mobility and Urban Planning) in the complex and 78% in the city. Likewise, compliance with PA5 (Technological developments applied to Public Safety) was 0% in the complex and 11% in PA6 (Technological developments applied to Health) in the city. It is concluded that by complying with 100% of the PAs, joint government-binationalprivate sector actions should be generated for this destination to be fully considered as an ITD.
