%U https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/3123/
%X ICT has an increasing influence on the tourism field. This smart tourism is accompanied by new concepts that are fuzzy and not clearly defined to be used collectively. This paper tries to conceptualize the Smart Tourism Experience and also examine its application in practice. It aims for a better understanding of the concept and beside that it looks deeper into the technology behind this experience.   The role of internet and the smartphone will be discussed in combination with the sharing and searching potential of those. Finally the paper will provide an answer to the question if tourists in Amsterdam encounter a Smart Tourism Experience.
