destinos turísticos inteligentes, indicadores, modelo de medida, ecuaciones estructurales, PLS-SEMResumen
Este estudio analiza empíricamente las relaciones entre las cinco dimensiones del modelo de Destino Turístico Inteligente (STD) —Gobernanza, Innovación, Tecnología, Sostenibilidad y Accesibilidad— mediante el modelo de ecuaciones estructurales con mínimos cuadrados parciales (PLS-SEM). La investigación examina 28 microdestinos de Extremadura (España), una región con una competitividad turística relativamente baja, basándose en indicadores derivados de la norma UNE 178502. Los resultados indican que la gobernanza es la única dimensión con un efecto positivo y estadísticamente significativo sobre la sostenibilidad, mientras que las restantes relaciones hipotéticas no se ven respaldadas. Estos hallazgos sugieren que los impactos de la tecnología y la innovación en otras dimensiones del desarrollo turístico sostenible no son automáticos y pueden depender del nivel de desarrollo y madurez del destino. El estudio aporta evidencia empírica a un campo dominado en gran medida por enfoques teóricos y destaca la gobernanza como un motor clave del desarrollo del turismo sostenible, particularmente en destinos emergentes. Sin embargo, los resultados deben interpretarse con cautela debido a las limitaciones de los datos y a las características específicas del área de estudio
