  abstract = {The aim of this paper is to present a methodological framework that will be useful for supporting destinations (managers, policy makers etc) to create their own identity by using largely the new social media tools. The methodology here presented is the result of two local experimentations realized in the Apulia region with the intent to promote the destination through the extensive and intelligent use of digital and social technologies that enable processes of users’ co-creation. Carried out in Apulia, both the two initiatives are aimed to promote and test a model of smart tourism, labelled with #ApuliaSmarTourism, inspired by the principles of service co-creation, digitalization and user centrality.},
