“…Understanding the needs of each group of travellers with disabilities remains underestimated (Buhalis et al , 2012). Additionally, as cities where efforts are made to become more accessible mainly concentrate on adjusting physical obstacles (Sørmoen, 2009), heritage cities may lack appropriate investments in improving information access and the interactive experience for their tourists with disabilities (Marasco & Balbi, 2019).…”

“…The investment in developing web- or app-based heritage storytelling solutions can enhance the accessibility of information for all travellers (Compagnon, 2020). Currently, the use of artificial intelligence assists in the creation of virtual and augmented reality where people can enjoy their heritage in different locations (Marasco & Balbi, 2019). This will be a tremendous movement for DMOs to leverage the accessibility and experience of disabled travellers at heritage sites (Darcy, McKercher & Schweinsberg, 2020).…”

“…Should this be a story, then those 3 (three) points should be the main point of the story. Virtual reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) technology are gaining more attention as the technology that can enhance the quality of stories in creating memorable tourism experiences (Han et al, 2019;Marasco, 2020), as well as visitors' satisfaction (Bae et al, 2020) for those who are interested in novelty and education (Kurniasari et al, 2022). VR, especially cinematic Virtual Reality (CVR) can make the visitor feels as if they are immersed in the story presented as a film.…”

This paper aims to uncover the tourism potential of the Ulu Apad of Penglipuran Village. The Ulu Apad is a traditional governance system that exists only in a Bali Aga Village, believed to be the village of the original Balinese people. Using in-depth interviews and observation, the author extracted and discussed the tourism potentials of the Ulu Apad based on data collected from purposively selected informants. In addition, a literature review was carried out to provide secondary data. The result of the qualitative analysis shows that the Ulu Apad is a potential cultural tourist attraction. The system is so unique that it is different even from fellow Bali Aga Villages, and other customary villages. The system ensured that the most experienced and knowledgeable individuals are chosen to lead the village. Despite its uniqueness, the Ulu Apad has not been utilized as an attractor of tourist visits to the village due to its complexity. The intangible nature of the Ulu Apad means that special effort needs to be put in to ensure its attraction can be enjoyed by the tourist. This article provides insight into how to best utilize the intangible nature of the Ulu Apad as a cultural tourist attraction.

“…The health crisis has forced cultural tourism entities to evolve rapidly, in an arguably excessively improvised and incomplete manner, with the creation or enhancement of virtual visits to multiple attractions (Hooi, 2020). In recent years prior to the pandemic, virtual reality tours had been developed by great cultural heritage institutions, such as the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, the Palace of Versailles, the Vatican Museums and the State Hermitage Museum (Marasco, 2020). Cultural tourism post-COVIID-19 must continue to make advances in E-Tourism, developing technologies for web-based support of cultural tourism (Chanchí et al, 2020).…”

El turismo cultural urbano tras la pandemia de la COVID-19: una perspectiva y propuestas de un modelo alternativo El turismo era una máquina en continuo crecimiento hasta su paralización con la pandemia de la COVID-19. En las ciudades, se incrementaban sus impactos negativos y había situaciones de sobreturismo. La pandemia es un momento disruptivo y excepcional. Es una ocasión para abandonar el camino hacia la insostenibilidad. Este artículo es un análisis turístico crítico donde se plantea cuál es la perspectiva pospandémica del turismo cultural urbano con una visión alejada de la búsqueda del lucro como fin último. El objetivo principal es plantear propuestas de un modelo alternativo y sostenible. Es un trabajo teórico que recurre a la revisión literaria de 180 obras científicas. De manera complementaria, se accede a las informaciones de los medios y se realiza una observación de la realidad, con trabajo de campo. Se propone una limitación de los visitantes y una mejora en la calidad mediante visitas guiadas, rutas turísticas, turismo experiencial y turismo virtualizado. Y se plantea una nueva gobernanza turística centralizada y una regulación de los agentes privados. Se considera que el artículo es de interés para los responsables públicos del turismo en las ciudades.
