Where innovation and technology meets environmental stewardship

Learn About us

Our mission is to revolutionise the tourism sector, foster ecotourism practices and transform the visitor experience, while supporting destinations to drive sustainable growth through advanced, innovative, digital and data-driven solutions.

Smart Planner is redefining tourism through innovation and helping to build a better future.

At Smart Planner, we use an R&D-driven approach and technology to build a next-generation travel and tourism planning ecosystem. Our platform aims to help travellers and travel agencies plan sustainable and meaningful trips, while supporting tourism operators and local communities. We focus on ecotourism and sustainable practices, local engagement, artificial intelligence, and data-driven travel experiences.

Smart Planner operates at the intersection of tourism, technology, and sustainable development, bringing together research, innovation, and practical tools that help destinations evolve into smarter, more resilient tourism ecosystems. Our work extends beyond building software, we design systems that strengthen the relationship between visitors, local operators, and the communities they experience. By aligning digital innovation with real-world tourism challenges, we support destinations to improve visitor flow, reduce pressure on overcrowded areas, distribute economic benefits more evenly, and create travel experiences that are meaningful, culturally rich, and environmentally responsible.

We believe that the future of tourism lies in connected, data-driven infrastructure, where travellers receive intelligent support throughout their journey and destinations gain insights to plan proactively rather than reactively. Smart Planner is committed to shaping that future. Through continuous research, iterative development, and strong collaboration with industry partners, we build solutions that not only solve today’s planning challenges but also anticipate the needs of tomorrow’s travellers, operators, and cities. Our goal is to help destinations transition from traditional tourism models to smarter, more sustainable systems that create long-term value for everyone involved.
