abstract = {The connection between digitization of destinations and their
sustainability is a topic that has been gaining interest in the
tourism literature. This study focuses on the European Union (EU)
and examines how digitization influences the social, economic
and environmental dimensions of sustainability based on The
Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI). For this purpose, a
semi-qualitative analysis was conducted with data from 2022. The
results show that the digitization of destinations affects tourism
sustainability in a changing way, highlighting its positive impact
on the economic dimension, which is undoubtedly the one that
benefits most from the effects of increased digitization. This work
represents an advance in the literature on the subject, exploring
the relationship between digitization and sustainability in its
three dimensions. It concludes with a series of practical
recommendations that favour sustainability, such as the creation
of digital services for tourists or the correct education of them.},
