“…The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) recommends cities to develop sustainable tourism practices, including replacing mass tourism with high-quality tourism (UNESCO, 2016). Although, strictly speaking, mass tourism refers simply to large numbers of people and not necessarily bad-quality tourism, empirical evidence in the literature supports an association between the two concepts: mass tourism and a poor visitor experience (Reisinger, 1994;Troitiño & Troitiño, 2010;Álvarez, 2018;Harrison & Sharpley, 2017;Opačić, 2019;Karamehmedović, 2020;Méndez et al, 2020). Moreover, mass tourism may have multiple negative impacts on urban destinations, which can affect both visitor satisfaction and the quality of life of local residents, which increases the conflict (Stecker & Hartmann, 2019).…”

“…Furthermore, capitalising on the capacity of culture as a source of differentiation (OECD, 2009), cultural itineraries may be used to create products to sell to specific market segments. This would achieve the aim of creating models of tourism to attract different groups of cultural heritage tourist depending on their motivation (Opačić, 2019). In this sense, it has been shown there are significant differences between the 'specific cultural tourist' and general cultural tourists (McKercher & du Cros, 2003).…”

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.

“…This symbiotic relationship is increasingly facilitated by information and communication technologies. Overall, the economic valorisation of cultural heritage through tourism implies incorporating cultural heritage into the tourism supply [24], which means viewing cultural heritage as a component in the production of heritage-related tourism products and services. Given the high market interest of cultural tourism, local destinations strive to leverage what makes their societies unique, promote the region's cultural identity, in order to boost economic growth.…”

Heritage - New Paradigm

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The present chapter investigates the emerging paradigm of cultural heritage experience, as shaped by the continuous advances in information technologies. Recent years have seen the growing digitisation of cultural heritage, leveraged by innovative information technologies (imaging technologies, multimedia, virtual reality etc.). Advanced digitisation, and digital preservation and accessibility have been instrumental in transforming conservation and scientific research methods in the field of cultural heritage, as well as people’s experience of cultural heritage assets, relics, and monuments. Digitisation and immersion technologies are already in use in the context of cultural tourism in museums and on location. At the same time, a manifold of new applications and services can be generated from the adoption and adaptation of relevant technologies already applied in other sectors (e.g. 2D/3D digital scanning technologies applied in the construction industry). The present chapter will provide a thorough review of relevant digital technologies and existing work in the field, highlighting important research efforts and achievements; and will discuss the current challenges and promising avenues for future work. Following a literature review methodology, our research will provide a critical appraisal of carefully selected work from recent scientific literature and contribute to the systematisation of the current knowledge in the field towards the identification of key challenges and the extraction of new insights in terms of potential for practical applications and future research directions in the area.

“…In other words, this status provides the Park a greater level of attraction than other Croatian national and nature parks, because it guarantees a certain sensation or "wow-effect" to visitors, i.e. promising to be a memorable tourism experience (Opačić, 2019). Due to the aforementioned, as well to the accommodation capacity in and around the protected area, it should be observed as a tourism destination in and of itself and pillar of tourism development of the wider area (Lika, Kordun).…”

This collection of research is the result of fruitful collaboration between the Department of Geography of the University of Zagreb in Croatia, and the Department of Geography of the University of Primorska in Slovenia, which was implemented within the framework of a bilateral research pro-ject entitled “Comparative analysis of spatial development of tourism in protected areas of Croatia and Slovenia”, in 2018 and 2019. The authors found a background for their research in the fact that Croatia and Slovenia are interesting cases for examining the spatial development of tourism in protected areas of nature, as they shared the same socio-economic context of development in the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. After their independence and the period of transition, they faced different development dynamics and adopted various approaches for management and development of protected areas. Today, both countries are members of the European Union and are confronted with many similar challenges regarding the implementation of the concept of sustainable tourism in protected areas.
