Travel habits of erasmus students: how can smart destinations attract them

Abstract

Erasmus students, also considered Millennials, are heavy users of technology and have been traveling more over the years. As consequence of this growth, as well as from the use of technology in different industries, tourism has evolved into Smart Tourism, and with it, Smart Destinations were born. This paper defines Smart Tourism, the Erasmus program, and Millennials. Afterwards, a discussion that sheds light on their travel habits is done, with the purpose of finding out how Smart Destinations can attract them more easily. This is followed by recommendations the National Tourism Agency should do to allow it to happen.
