This paper shows light on the concept of smart tourism destination as a future of tourism development, especially in the context of problems associated with developing countries. This study substantiates the case of smart tourism development in mountain destinations as an affordable and needed future of the contemporary era. This conceptual study is based on secondary literature on Smart Cities, Smart Tourism Destinations, and Tourism in Himachal Pradesh. The Indian state of Himachal Pradesh has been considered as a study area to acknowledge major tourism-related challenges, especially in mountain locations. Consequently, the dots are connected between existing challenges and solutions that smart tourism holds. It turns out that for the development of mountain tourism destinations such as Himachal Pradesh in the Indian Himalayas, investments in smart infrastructure are required. By developing smart infrastructure, a new USP can be made, a supportive environment for new local businesses, new employment opportunities, enhanced tourist experience and an overall raised standard of living for locals. Considering all factors, it leads to a highly competitive tourism destination. All tourism destinations located in the Himalayan mountains show somewhat the same tourism challenges as Himachal Pradesh, India. Therefore, this paper brightens the path of destination planners towards the development agenda of smart tourism destinations and shows how smart tourism infrastructure can be deployed for better management of tourism destinations.

국내 각 지방자치단체의 커뮤니티아이덴티티 (community identity) 프로그램은 지역 활성화를 중요한 목적으로 한다. 커뮤니티아이덴티티는 타 지자체들과 차별화 된 이미지를 확립하고 동시에 지역주민의 애향심과 소속감을 높일 수 있는 매우 효과적인 방법 중 하나이다. 커뮤니티아이덴티티 외에도 지방자치단체의 아이덴티티를 형성하는 요소로서 꽃, 새, 동물 등의 각 지자체 상징물이나 그 지역과 연고가 있는 인물, 전통, 특산물 등을 시각화한 캐릭터가 있다. 최근에는 시티브랜드와 같은 마케팅지향의 브랜드 계획, 지역이벤트 등 다양한 프로그램들을 도입하고 있다. 본 연구는 현재 도입된 국내 지방자치단체 커뮤니티아이덴티티의 시각요소 중 심벌마크, 로고타입, 색상 등의 가장 기본적인 요소와 각 지자체의 상징물, 캐릭터의 시각요소 현황을 조사 분석하였다. 그 결과 각 지방자치단체의 커뮤니티아이덴티티 및 기타 디자인요소들의 차별성이 부족하고 여러 시각 요소들 간의 일관성도 결여된 것으로 나타났다. 지방자치단체의 차별화 된 이미지 형성을 위해서는 지역이 갖고 있는 보다 특색 있고 다양한 소재 개발과 커뮤니티아이덴티티를 중심으로 여러 시각요소들의 일관성과 상호작용을 통한 시너지효과를 유도해야 할 것이다.

유럽연합의 형성으로 회원국가간에 존재하였던 기존의 국경기능이 완전히 사라지게 됨에 따라 유럽연합은 낙후된 접경지역을 개발하고, 접경지역간의 상호활동을 증대시켜 통합된 공동체의 내부지역으로 만들기 위해 1990년부터 접경지역개발계획(INTERREG)을 수립하여 접경지역 개발전략을 적극적으로 모색하고 있다. 과거 유럽 제철산업의 중심지였던 프랑스-벨기에-룩셈부르크의 접경지역은 지역경제와 사회침체를 억제하고 안정된 지역경제의 재 구조화를 이루기 위해 유럽연합의 INTERREG 계획과 유사한 지역경제ㆍ사회ㆍ문화적 특성을 바탕으로 접경지역의 공동개발인 P.E.D. 개발을 실행하고 있다. 또한 최근에는 지역경제의 재구조화뿐만 아니라 도시계획ㆍ행정ㆍ사회적 통합을 통해 지역을 활성화시키기 위한 장기적이고 전체적인 공동계발계획을 시도하고 있다.
