Thus, this exploratory research aimed to analyse the smart city mission initiatives for transforming Indian tourism destinations into a smart destination. The analysis put forward that many crucial tourist cities are selected for the smart city mission of India. Further the initiatives of the smart city mission will help transform these destinations into smart destinations which will improve the destination competitiveness and support the revival of the industry from the pandemic effect.
