The different configurations of SDC stem from the relativeimportance attributed to their goals and entail different levels of quality of the data they collect. SDC arenot only big data generators, but also marketing tools and the outcome of the cooperative games between theincluded attractions, with a trade‐off between these features. Consequently, strong sample selection, pricedistortion effects, and collection of limited personal details on card users often characterize SDC data. Wepropose a checklist for assessing the potential of SDC as big data generators, whose items are: large coverageof diverse attractions; same discount for all included attractions; low card price; stability of features overtime; collection of personal data at issue. We exemplify its use by applying it to the SDC of Trentino, anItalian mountain destination.
