“…As far as cultural information is concerned, it is obvious that transmedia stories are complex (combination of various media), immersive (advantages of cutting-edge technologies) and engaging (participatory culture). Cultural tourists require unique experiences that satisfy their interests (Basaraba et al, 2019). A cultural heritage system that employs transmedia content, presents local history, traditional myths, destroyed or even remote monuments.…”

“…Besides, through transmedia storytelling, travellers understand that the stories could be continued and expanded by themselves and/or changed and not just presented on different platforms (Fiorelli, 2013). Travellers, through this transmedia participatory process, experience pleasure by providing a micro-narrative piece to a larger macro-narrative, that is the full story (Basaraba et al, 2019).…”

This paper focuses on the topic of world heritage monuments tourism planning and more specifically at the area of strategic management design, as the integration of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals “SDGs”, described in the Agenda 2030 introduces a wide range of conditions that affect the policy design. With the introduction of Sustainable Goal 11, countries have pledged to “make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”. Within this goal, Target 11.4 aims to “strengthen efforts to protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage”. The main goal of our research is to determine whether a tourism promotion methodology, experientially used in the case of the Old Town of Corfu, may assist in the monitoring of the existing management plan of the site, providing with data and metrics that allow its adaptation according to the 17 SDGs. Our proposed methodology has been applied within the “Hologrammatic Corfu” project, a digital tourist guide designed specifially to enable exploration of the site covering user requirements before, during and after the trip, with the use of transmedia content such as photos, 360-degree videos, augmented reality and hologrammatic videos. Here data collected regarding the travellers’ visits to specific points of interest are actively utilized for dynamic re-rooting during their visit, safeguarding sustainability and accessibility along the entire tourism cycle.
