The president of Microsof Spain, Alberto Granados, first speaker at the sixth edition From Digital Tube which began this morning in Benidorm, held a meeting with the mayor of Benidorm, Toni Pérez, prior to the opening of the congress, which was attended by the president of Segittur, Enrique Martínez.
During it, Pérez has made a presentation of success stories in city management, such as the example of water and the DTI commitment, of which Granados has stated that he was “pleasantly surprised” by the level, highlighting the singularities that it maintains with the city-state of Singapore, pointing out the affinity in future approaches of both cities, as the architect-urban planner Alfonso Vegara has been expressing about intelligent territories and the future to come.
Pérez has exposed the process for the certification of Benidorm as the first Smart Tourist Destination, a process that began in the fall of 2015, which reached its goal in December 2018, and which continues to be permanently reoriented in pursuit of achieving the best city to live in as a premise to be the place to come on vacation.
Granados has been interested in the Smart Office of the Benidorm City Council and the determining elements in innovation and technology, as well as the initiatives developed by Benidorm in applications for universal accessibility and governance, pointing out the connections with the lines of work that his company develops in Tourism and that he later presented at his conference focused on innovation to transform the traveler experience under the prism of what technology should do, rather than what technology can do.
