“…While audiovisual approaches appear to be the most commonly used solutions in previous implementations and studies, multisensory approaches have arisen and indicated to further enrich users' experience in cultural heritage (CH) contexts [2], [3]. The recent literature has presented several multisensory strategies using virtual and augmented reality technologies for different types of heritage sites, such as the "Haptic Museum" [4], the "Museum of Pure-Form" [5], the "National Archaeological Museum of Marche" [6], "The Feelies" [7], or the "Tanning in Medieval Coventry" [8].…”

Little is known about the impact of the addition of each stimulus in multisensory augmented reality experiences in cultural heritage contexts. This paper investigates the impact of different sensory conditions on a user's sense of presence, enjoyment, knowledge about the cultural site, and value of the experience. Five different multisensory conditions, namely, Visual, Visual+Audio, Visual+Smell, and Visual+Audio+Smell conditions, and regular visit referred to as None condition, were evaluated by a total of 60 random visitors distributed across the specified conditions. According to the results, the addition of particular types of stimuli created a different impact on the sense of presence subscale scores, namely, on spatial presence, involvement, and experienced realism, but did not influence the overall presence score. Overall, the results revealed that the addition of stimuli improved enjoyment and knowledge scores and did not affect the value of the experience scores. We concluded that each stimulus has a differential impact on the studied variables, demonstrating that its usage should depend on the goal of the experience: smell should be used to privilege realism and spatial presence, while audio should be adopted when the goal is to elicit involvement.

“…Recently, the multisensory approach seems to have gradually gained ground in digital culture, as diverse multisensory stimuli can make digital experiences more realistic and memorable [60]. Regarding virtual museology, the multisensory approach is an inherited element (Figure 2).…”

In recent years, the digitization of cultural heritage has been favored by significant advancements in specific technologies, such as photogrammetry and three-dimensional scanning. The digital representations of artifacts, paintings, books, and collections, as well as buildings or archaeological sites, has led to the transfer of cultural organizations to the digital space. On the other hand, the rapid development of immersive technologies and the Internet of Things is expected to decisively shape virtual cultural heritage in the coming years. However, this digital transition should expand its impact on most of the population. This article aims to cover the lack of structured methodology in the design and development of inclusive virtual spaces in cultural heritage. This research introduces a holistic framework that is mainly based on the disciplines of virtual museology. The proposed methodology takes into account the advancements in extended reality and the creative industry of computer games. The multisensory approach would lead to advanced immersive experiences, while the multilayered approach of cultural heritage content would enhance accessibility in inclusive virtual spaces. Moreover, this holistic framework could provide evidence from the virtual worlds that could be applied to real cultural heritage organizations.

“…It also creates conditions for arousing emotions that can engage visitors' feelings (Jelinčić & Senkić, 2017), thus increasing satisfaction and long-term memories (Agapito et al, 2012). Although, studies in multisensory experiences are still scarce, postulating further investigation and opening opportunities to explore it in different contexts, such as heritage attractions (Marto et al, 2019). In the field of heritage, the paradigm shift from an information-centric approach (Marshall et al, 2016) to a hedonic visitor experience (Calver & Page, 2013), the latter guided by the exploration and analysis of heritage sites through the senses, opens new paths for the interpretation, understanding and the experience of the visit.…”

“…The literature recognises that despite the growing interest in the role of the senses in the experience of visiting heritage attractions, there is still a lack of research in the multisensory field, demonstrating a great understanding of the opportunity to explore it in different contexts (Marto et al, 2019;Rahman et al, 2018;Bender et al, 2019).…”

The International Workshop Tourism and Hospitality Management (IWTHM2021) is an international scientific meeting, that gathers together researchers from around the world, with the purpose of sharing knowledge in the topic of Tourism and Hospitality Management. Moreover, this intensive, diversified and original event intends to be a reference in the scientific community evolving Tourism and Hospitality Management.We are in the third edition, and due to the success of the previous two editions, the Organization Committee decided to continue the discussion of current topics on tourism and hospitality.After a particularly atypical year, in which restrictions were placed on people's mobility, with the aim of limiting the spread of COVID-19, the impacts on the tourism sector are more than many. The OECD forecasts, released in the report "Tourism Policy Responses to the coronavirus (COVID-19)", of June 2, 2020, point not only to a 60% to 80% drop in international tourism, but also to a drop in local tourism, since it is estimated that approximately half of the world population has been or is still subject to containment measures. However, it is expected that local tourism will recover more quickly and can serve as a support, considering that the local tourism economy represents about 75% of the total tourism economy in OECD countries.Considering the great challenges currently facing both national and international tourism, ISAG -European Business School and the Research Center in Business Sciences and Tourism (CICET -FCVC) understand that this is the right time to organize the third edition of the Tourism and Hospitality Management Workshop, aiming at sharing knowledge in scientific fields of tourism and hospitality among the various participants and researchers. Thus, the IWTHM2021 Organizing Committee invited researchers from all around the world to submit their work, under the form of abstracts, extended abstracts and full papers. All manuscripts went through a doubleblind peer-review process in order to be selected to presentation at the Workshop.
