摘要：The phenomenon of smart tourist destinations is recent and its conceptualization is still in process. It is known that the idea of smart destination was born from the notion of smart city. That way, this paper aimed to analyze if Curitiba was becoming a smart tourist destination based on the year 2016. The research methodology was exploratory, because it aimed to provide greater familiarity with the theme; bibliographic and documental; and qualitative, because it studied a social phenomenon. The data collection happened in two phases: the bibliographic survey and the documental survey, where it was analyzed the Municipal Tourism Plan (2015), the Director Plan of Curitiba (2015), news and reports to identify projects and actions that Curitiba was executing and that characterizes it as a smart tourist destination. The research results showed that Curitiba was not yet a smart tourist destination, because the city would need to better develop some areas like technology and mobility.
