REPORT TourismDigitalisation

lack of financial 

resources  was  perceived to be the key issue raised in 3 of the top  5 obstacles 

(Obstacles 1, 3 and 5).  

 

A particularly interesting finding is Obstacle 2  that the attitude  “current levels  of 



technology are already sufficient” is an obstacle. While not a concrete “obstacle” like 

the availability of technology or human resource capabilities, an intangible obstacle 

is that many SMEs are questioning what is the most desirable level of digitalisation.  

 

Interview data excavates this point  illustrating that while traditional ways of doing 



things are still working, a key obstacle is deciding the level of digitalisation that would 

be appropriate in very context specific conditions: 

 



  There should be a balance between traditional ways and digitalisation. SMEs 



operate in their own way and digital solutions have to supplement and enhance.  

  Digitalisation is not the goal, better business is the goal. 



  Technology needs to be refined and to fit the value being created, depending on 

the sub-sector, the context and location, not the other way around. 

  Digitalisation is a good thing, but it is not everything.  



  The smaller you are, the harder it is for you to use all these digital tools… it’s a bit 

overwhelming. 

  Digitalisation should make things easier. If SMEs feel under pressure to digitalise 



or to constantly answer to the technologies they have implemented and not their 

business, then this is not a good thing. 

 

Obstacle 4 indicates a  concern  that technology is changing too rapidly, and that 



investment can quickly become obsolete. Obstacles 2 and 4 once again link to tourism SMEs’ lack of understanding 

of digital opportunities, as well as how a business can best capitalise on these opportunities via clear strategies 

over both short and long term. 

 

Improving awareness and understanding of the potential opportunities of digitalisation, both at an operational level 



and at business ecosystem level, is likely to facilitate innovation, new product development and new types of value 

creation. Public administrations and professional associations have a potentially important role to play in both 

passive awareness building and active solution building.  

Differences between SMEs with low and medium digitalisation 

There were no significant differences between SMEs characterised by low and medium/high levels of digitalisation. 

However, it is worth noting that both groups strongly disagreed with the statement “My business is primarily to 



sustain a lifestyle and growth is of less importance”  (Q12).  There is a sustained  belief that  many micro, self-

employed and small businesses place lifestyle ahead of other business motivations such as growth. However, the 

survey results seem to indicate that both groups strongly believed that maintaining the micro/small lifestyle was not 

an obstacle to digitalisation.  

SMEs with low levels of digitalisation were more concerned about the costs of high-speed broadband.
