The impact of digitalisation on the tourism industry is indisputable on both the demand and the supply side. Typically, the booking of services and the interpretation of attractions have become the focus of online and digital solutions, but in the case of events, all of these solutions can play a role. It can also be seen that, in the life of larger cities, smart tourism applications are popular, but does this apply to smaller domestic cities and countryside destinations? The examination of all these topics is the focus of our present article, addressing the following research question: What can smart tourism mean in the case of Székesfehérvár and how can the demand for a smart event be characterized in terms of the Royal Days? To examine the questions, we conducted qualitative in-depth expert interviews with 13 key service providers, as well as demand-side research using a questionnaire with the help of the local Destination Management Organization (DMO), reaching 414 meaningful answers among visitors at the 2019 Royal Days.
