Computational creativity is the art, science, philosophy and engineering of computational systems which, by taking on particular responsibilities, exhibit behaviours that unbiased observers would deem to be creative. As a field of research, this area is thriving, with progress in formalising what it means for software to be creative, along with many exciting and valuable applications of creative software in the sciences, the arts, literature, gaming and elsewhere.

The ICCC conference series organized by the Association for Computational Creativity since 2010 is the only scientific conference that focuses on computational creativity alone and also covers all aspects of it.

As there is scarce research on how hotels are building capacity for supporting a smart destination, this study aims at uncovering current efforts of the hotel sector in joining and building the smart destination challenge, by answering the questions: are hotels prepared to be part of a smart destination? And how can technology support hotel engagement with customers adopting a co-creation approach? To address these questions, the following objectives were defined: i) to analyze adoption of enabling technologies by hotels, ii) to explore how technologies are helping hotels to enhance co-creation with guests; and iii) to classify hotel innovation adoption in the near future. A survey will be conducted to managers of Iberian hotels. Madrid ranks 25th and Lisbon 52th in the IESE Cities in Motion Index (IESE, 2020). And according to UNWTO’s (2019) ranking of countries with the largest surplus in the travel balance ranking, Spain ranks 2nd and Portugal 9th. These data indicate an unbalanced performance of the two Iberian countries in terms of city socio-economic dynamics and tourism. Accordingly, the study will focus on Lisbon and Madrid as capital cities of Portugal and Spain and examine hotel capacity to support their transition to the smart city paradigm. Results will allow identification of hotels  integration of new technologies and orientation to smartness and insights on best practices for enhancement of Lisbon and Madrid as smart destinations will also be provided.
