This paper aims to develop a conceptual model of smart tourism destination competitiveness to provide implications in terms of smart tourism destination realization and smart tourism destination competitiveness development. A literature review on tourism destination competitiveness and smart tourism destination is performed. A conceptual model is suggested on the basis of the model of destination competitiveness developed by Crouch and Ritchie (1999). The suggested conceptual model integrates the traditional concepts of comparative advantages and competitive advantages, seven core resources and attractors, and five destination management factors. Smart technology is included as a new core resource and attractor in the model. This study is the first to comprehensively conceptualize smart tourism destination competitiveness. Moreover, this study has practical value in the sense that it focused on the convergence between smart technology and other factors.

근대적 방식의 관광 개발이 야기한 여러 도시 문제들에 대한 해결책으로 '스마트관광도시'가 주목받고 있다. 그러나 스마트관광도시로의 발전을 위한 구체적인 방향이나 지침이 부족한 상황에서 일부 지자체들은 천편일률적인 관광앱을 개발하는데 막대한 투자비용을 들이고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 국내·외의 주요 관광도시에 두루 적용할 수 있는 표준화되고 객관적인 '스마트관광도시 경쟁력 지표'를 개발하고, 서울을 포함한 세계 여러 도시들의 스마트관광도시 경쟁력 수준을 평가하고자 하였다. 평가 지표는 매력성, 접근가능성, 디지털 준비도, 지속가능성, 마지막으로 협력적 파트너십으로 구성되었다. 도시별 분석 결과, 싱가포르가 가장 높은 수준의 스마트관광도시 경쟁력을 갖고 있는 것으로 평가되었으며, 이어 암스테르담, 뉴욕, 서울, 바르셀로나, 코펜하겐의 순으로 나타났다. 반면 호치민과 방콕은 상대적으로 스마트관광도시화에 더 많은 노력이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 향후 스마트관광도시 관련 사업들을 지속적이고 체계적으로 모니터링 할 수 있는 글로벌 표준으로도 활용하여 유의미한 시사점을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

스마트관광은 지역의 관광자원 활용을 극대화하고 도시를 효과적으로 관리하며 관광객과 주민 간의 소통과 삶의 질을 개선하는 데 기여한다. 따라서 스마트관광은 지역 간의 협력을 강조하며 스마트관광도시는 거주민과 관광객을 모두 고려하는 포괄적 관점에서의 연구가 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 지역 관광 경쟁력 제고를 위한 스마트관광과 지역 간의 상호작용 및 역할에 대해 논의하고자 하였다. 특히, 스마트관광도시의 구성요소인 스마트관광 4대 요소(스마트 경험, 스마트 편의, 스마트 접근성, 스마트 플랫폼)를 지역민, 지역상권, 지역자원, 지역생태계와 접목하여 긍정적 시너지를 위해서 어떻게, 왜 라는 관점에서 서비스 구축 단계부터 활성화 단계까지 심층적으로 살펴보였다. 이를 위해 대한민국 제1호 인천 스마트관광도시 사례를 대상으로 단일 사례 연구 디자인 방법을 채택하였다. 연구결과 지역과의 협력적 스마트관광도시 모델은 서비스 만족도를 높이며 지역 관광 경쟁력을 강화하는 긍정적인 효과를 나타냈다. 특히, 스마트관광도시의 다양한 구성 요소들이 지역사회와 상호작용하여 새로운 가치를 창출하였으며 이는 방문객 증대와 도시 브랜딩 강화로 이어지는 결과를 보였다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 본 연구는 스마트관광도시 발전 방향을 제시하고 스마트 기술과 지역관광의 융합으로 인한 지역 경쟁력 강화 연구로써 기여할 것으로 기대한다.
