In Girona, a scenic city in Catalonia, Spain, authorities are turning to smart technology to manage tourism more effectively. By installing sensors in the historic Barri Vell, the city tracks the flow and dwell time of visitors in key areas. This initiative helps form policies that improve tourist experiences and distribute visitor effects more evenly, maintaining a balance between traveler satisfaction and resident lifestyle. Supported by EU funding, this project is part of the Menja’t Girona initiative and marks a significant step towards sustainable urban tourism by reducing overcrowding and addressing growing concerns from locals.
