Girona's Old Town has initiated a network of sensors to count tourists and map their routes using mobile phone signals. This system will identify whether individuals are residents or visitors, and if they are short-term or overnight guests. The sensors will be placed at key locations throughout Barri Vell and other areas. The collected data aims to improve visitor experiences, stimulate local commerce, and enhance the balance between tourists and local residents. This marks a proactive step in addressing potential tourist-local conflicts in Catalonia.
Girona's Old Town has implemented a special network of sensors that will count the number of visitors around the Barri Vell area and map their most used routes.
The devices will use mobile phone signals to count tourists and identify whether the individual is a resident or a visitor.
Sensors will register whether someone is spending the night in Girona's Old Town or if they will only be there for a few hours.
The data collected will help officials determine how tourists roam the town and adapt to locals' needs, addressing tensions with resident communities.
