Abstract: While smart tourism (hereinafter referred to as ST) has attracted worldwide attention, research on ST has been conducted since 2010 mainly in advanced tourism nations represented by Europe and the United States. The concept and structure discussed in these studies are not necessarily applicable to emerging tourism countries. In this paper, we analyze the development process of and academic research on ST in China, where mass tourism and personalized travel are pervasive at the same time. Through comparison with Western countries, the Chinese ST highlights characteristic such as government-led, emphasis on governance, and the lack of perspective on residents.
