Findings: As a result, gaps and key factors that would allow, from the perspective of the groups approached, the success of smart tourism strategies were obtained. Conclusion: The technological appropriation of the Colombian tourism sector reveals a gap especially in the capacity to generate an intel-ligent offer in relation to the experience perceived by the consumer.
