Our cities today have to deal with changes and alterations tied with the urban and technological innovation. The growing flow of people and the new awareness for sustainable practices, put them at the core of a subject of complex development.
The research on smart city, tourism and its digital tools is crucial on the development of an application to observe the city, allowing the tourist to fulfill his need to discover and meet the expectation of his journey.
The main function of the app consists on recording the path that the tourist is experiencing in the city through GPS tracking, then notifies the proximity of potentially interesting places, allows to review the maps with his own itinerary and sharing them.
This system does not force the user to visit places, but recommend a series of selected suggestion, based on his own desire.
