TExTOUR ICT Platform driving cultural tourism and socioeconomic growth in remote areas
TExTOUR has developed an innovative ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) platform that serves as a guide and monitoring tool for the implementation of cultural tourism strategies. The platform helps pilots and cultural tourism stakeholders to work together and it provides key recommendations to support socioeconomic development in remote areas.
Our platform provides information and data to a variety of users. Tourists can find everything about the main events, fairs, museums, villages and other places to visit, and the most interesting routes in interest. Cultural tourism sites can advertise their activities on the platform and use the data collected to monitor the effectiveness of their cultural tourism actions. Moreover, the data collected through our platform can provide evidence to support policy and decision-making, and to define sustainable business development related to cultural tourism in remote areas.
This goal is achieved extracting the key performance indicators (KPIs) for cultural tourism defined during TExTOUR project and transferring their information into inputs of policy and practice making. Our platform's algorithms convert data into knowledge that can be used to create innovative activities, personalised offers, collaborative networks, and much more.
The way our platform is designed supports TExTOUR mission to support lesser known and remote areas in protecting and valorising their cultural heritage. Its strength is to be a living platform that keeps growing and evolving with the inputs from its users.
