The statistical program (SPSS, Ver.26) was used to analyze the field study data. The study results indicated a low level of digital culture and electronic awareness among employees in Port Said government tourism entities , leading to difficulty in digital thinking penetration and consequently in applying and using digital technologies. The study recommended the necessity of providing all requirements for digital transformation such as computers, comprehensive data systems, electronic kiosks in public places, and a secure digital infrastructure to improve government tourism services in the governorate. | ||||
