Europe is the first touristic destination in the world: in 2010, it was visited by almost half billion tourists. Cultural tourism plays a significant attraction role, and is estimated to account for around 40% of all European tourism.

Information and communication technologies have allowed the development of new services in the cultural tourism field, shifting from traditional to new ways of approaching cultural resources: digital tourism is offering great opportunities to renew and enrich the visitors’ experiences. Adapting to technologies and uses, it tends to become more and more connected to social media, geolocated, and in mobility. In the same time, it contributes to enhance cultural heritage attractiveness, sustainability and quality, and favours its accessibility.

Organized by Michael Culture Association, dedicated to cultural heritage valorization, this workshop, IN ENGLISH, aims at sharing best practices examples and innovative projects on digital tourism in Europe. 

Audience: Professionals from the Cultural heritage and tourism fields, new technologies and innovative services.
