The purpose of this article is to present the possibilities that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) bring to the sustainable management of Smart Tourist Destinations (DTI), specifically in Benidorm, Valencian Community, Spain. The actions that Benidorm has carried out in this area are presented, which can serve as a model for other tourist destinations. Benidorm is the first tourist destination in the world to receive DTI certification, which is why this relevant destination was chosen for this research. Methodologically, the research is qualitative and exploratory and the technique of bibliographic survey and documentary research was used, in which it can be seen that the city presents some actions for the application of the SDGs. The results allow us to conclude that even though it is a DTI, Benidorm still needs to develop more actions related to the SDGs. It was also observed that there was a lack of actions to address the themes of gender equality, climate change, the end of poverty and quality education.
