Vienna remains the world’s most liveable city

Quality of life is up overall, though pollution and political unrest have reduced living standards in some metropolises

Overall, scores have gone up since last year. In all, 27 cities have become more liveable by the EIU’s reckoning, whereas 15 saw their scores fall. The biggest improvement came in San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, which rose 20 places to 69th—but that owed much to investments in health care and infrastructure after the devastation wrought by Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017. Sydney, the only climber in the top ten, went up by two places thanks to an improvement in its environment score. The Australian city is working to combat the impacts of climate change, outlined in its “Sustainable Sydney 2030” strategy. By contrast, worsening air pollution caused New Delhi to drop six places to 118th and Cairo to fall two places to 125th.

Smart City Conference in Croatia

The Smart Cities & Urban Technologies economic mission took place in Rijeka on Wednesday, 8 May 2019 and in Zagreb on Thursday, 9 May 2019, and was organized by the Austrian Foreign Trade Center Zagreb in partnership with the cities of Rijeka and Zagreb. The aim of the economic mission was to exchange experiences and know-how and to connect Croatian and Austrian companies, cities and institutions. As part of the economic mission, Austrian companies presented their technologies and solutions, while innovative Croatian companies and start-ups presented their innovations and projects. This was followed by B2B appointments of Austrian and Croatian companies. Representatives of the city of Rijeka presented the strategic plan “Rijeka – Smart city 2019 – 2020”. In Zagreb, representatives of the city office presented “Zagreb Smart City”. With this event, the presentations of Urban-Technology solutions and Smart City strategies created a basis for cooperation between Austrian and Croatian innovative companies, cities and institutions as a prerequisite for even better economic relations between the two countries.

With the further development of a City Card in the context of a smart city strategy, Peter Staudinger from DocLX explained to the attendees the essential advantages for the residents and the guests. The interest in this solution, as well as its application possibilities in terms of a smart city solution, were very high.

Funds of the European Union for digitalisation in tourism

The European Commission has implemented several actions to boost the competitiveness of small businesses in the European tourism sector, integrate them into global digital value chains, and improve their ability to create more jobs.

Actions to help tourism businesses go digital

Live events on digital tourism

This pilot series of webinars is designed to provide guidance on digital issues to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the tourism industry. Led by industry experts, the webinars examine recent trends in tourists’ use of technology to discover, plan and share their travel experiences.

Topics covered include:

  • digital marketing strategy;
  • online reputation and use of social media;
  • m-tourism (use of smartphones throughout the entire customer experience).

Digital Tourism Network

A Digital Tourism Network has been launched that will comprise representatives from the industry and EU countries to discuss how to boost the innovation capacity of tourism entrepreneurs, especially SMEs. The work of the Network will feed into the tourism policy priorities announced by Commissioner Elżbieta Bieńkowska.

The Network will:

  • serve as a forum to brainstorm on challenges and opportunities for digital tourism businesses, such as regulatory fragmentation, ensuring a level playing field, big data ownership and access to technology;
  • help shape new actions designed to increase the uptake of digital technologies by the tourism sector and improve SMEs’ inclusion in the global digital value chain;
  • serve as a contact point for their respective networks, including for example, technology providers, online tourism actors of all sizes, traditional tourism service providers, digital policy influencers and public administrations.

The tourism representatives will come from the public and private sector, from both digital and non-digital backgrounds.

Tourism Business Portal

The Tourism Business Portal is a one-stop-shop to improve the establishment, management, promotion, and expansion of businesses. It includes plenty of articles, tutorials, online tools, and links to best practices to help entrepreneurs learn about the management of a tourism business in the digital era.

Aims of the actions

  • strengthen the skill base of tourism SMEs, whose growth potential is often unexploited due to limited access to life-long learning and awareness of developments in the smart use of technologies;
  • include small businesses in the digital value chain by:
    • helping with the design of tailored digital solutions for the tourism industry;
    • offering a chance to take full advantage of the opportunities of the digital market to increase competitiveness;
    • providing access to new business opportunities and new markets to increase visibility and revenues;
  • boost the ICT-driven innovation potential of tourism SMEs and empower tourism entrepreneurs in online marketisation.
