Abstract
ا ل م خل ص In the era of digital transformation, smartness of tourist destinations became a necessity. The current study presents a number of innovative solutions and outcomes of managing heritage tourism of Alexandria sustainably. It investigated stakeholders' perceptions of the potentials of the digital transformation of El Montazah Gardens as one of the iconic heritage destinations of the old city. It adopted The City Model Canvas (CMC) as a planning tool for proposing a new model as an action plan for transforming El Montazah gardens into a smart heritage destination either for the botanic or the built heritage. The proposed model was named Destination Management Canvas (DMC), and it goes beyond smart applications on-site for representing the attractions to smart management of heritage tourism in a sustainable manner while respecting nature and culture. The implementation of the conducted study requires an integrated vision towards local development and the inclusion of all stakeholders. The results indicated to the easiness and trust in the application of smart technology with a positive attitude towards the application and its positive economic, social and environmental outcomes. The application of the new proposed model could be a tool guide for heritage managers and local authorities to implement the applications of the following smart technologies; virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and Internet of Things (IoT) with low cost tools for a smart heritage tourist destination ورض ةيحايسلا تاهجولا ءاكذ حبصأ ، يمقرلا لوحتلا رصع يف مدقت .ةر ةيثا رتلا ةحايسلا ةرادلإ ةركتبملا جئاتنلاو لولحلا نم ادًدع ةيلاحلا ةسا ردلا نع ةحلصملا باحصأ تا روصت يف ثحب دقو .مادتسم لكشب ةيردنكسلإل ةيثا رتلا تاهجولا نم ةدحاوك هزتنملا قئادحل يمقرلا لوحتلا تاناكمإ ملا جذومن ططخم تدمتعاو .ةميدقلا ةنيدملا يف ةريهشلا طيطخت ةادأك ند ةيثا رت ةهجو ىلإ هزتنملا قئادح ليوحتل لمع ةطخك ديدج جذومن حا رتقلا تابنلا ثا رتلل ءاوس ةيكذ ، ي .ينبملا وأ يمس ططخم حرتقملا جذومنلا ةيكذلا تاقيبطتلا رصتقت لاو ؛دصاقملا جومن ةحرتقملا ضرع درجم يلع دلإا وحن كلذ رملاا يدعتي لب ،عقوملا يف بذجلا رصانع ةيكذلا ةرا ما رتحا عم ةمادتسم ةروصب ثا رتلا ةحايسل ،ةعيبطلا .ةفاقثلاو ي بلطت ذيفنت عيمج كا رشإو ةيلحملا ةيمنتلل ةلماكتم ةيؤر اهؤا رجإ مت يتلا ةسا ردلا قيبطت يف ةقثلاو ،ةلوهسلا ىلإ جئاتنلا تراشأو .ةحلصملا باحصأ ،ةيداصتقلاا هجئاتنو قيبطتلا وحن يباجيلإا هجوتلا عم ،ةيكذلا ايجولونكتلا جذومنلا قيبطت نوكي نأ نكمي .ةيباجيلإا ةيئيبلاو ،ةيعامتجلااو ديدجلا ثا رتلا يريدمل ةادأ ليلد ةباثمب حرتقملا ، ةيلحملا تاطلسلاو ، ذيفنتل ززعملا عقاولاو ،يضا رتفلاا عقاولا ؛ ةيلاتلا ةيكذلا تاينقتلا تاقيبطت ءايشلأا تنرتنإو ،لايخلاب كلذو ةيحايس ةهجول ةفلكتلا ةضفخنم تاودأب .ةيكذ ةيثا رت
