Project Description.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The project promotes a culture of accessibility among tourism, museum and cultural operators in the cross-border area, as well as the accessibility, inclusiveness, digitization and experiential character of tourism offerings to increase their usability and enjoyability by all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLACES intervenes directly in 4 pilot sites in Vicenza, Klagenfurt, Fortezza (BZ), Tarvisio (UD), characterized by the presence of museums and significant landscape and cultural aspects. Here it realizes new content and services (multimedia, digital and interactive content, thematic museum itineraries and in the territories, solutions for autonomous visits by disabled people, virtual tours with mapping of accessible Points of Interest, inclusive communication tools) through the use of new technologies and artistic languages, and with the involvement of local communities for an authentic narrative of the places and their active participation in the enhancement of cultural and natural heritage as a common good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pilot sites will eventually be connected into the PLACES museum circuit (expandable to other facilities after the end of the project), which will allow remote visitation and access to special content, for cross-border promotion of sustainable and accessible tourism.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Overall goal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PLACES aims to contribute to the strengthening of cross-border cooperation between the regions involved through the enhancement and promotion of their cultural and natural heritage. The project is based on 4 pillars: technological innovation, accessibility (motor, cognitive, sensory, digital), inclusion, and culture from a participatory perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLACES promotes landscape, culture, and the values of accessibility and inclusion for the development of sustainable and experience-oriented tourism, capable of having a positive impact not only on tourists and visitors, but also on local areas and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through co-design, development and innovation methodologies, PLACES aims to improve the tourism offer of the areas involved with innovative, experiential and inclusive proposals, developed with the active involvement of local communities for an authentic narrative of places and their history, respecting the environment and people. Adopting the paradigm of design for all, the project represents a benchmark for inclusive design, making tourism products and services accessible to all, including people with special needs and requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLACES aims to consolidate cross-border collaboration through the joint and coordinated development of a model of cultural and sustainable tourism: on the one hand, favoring the deseasonalization of the tourist offer, increasing the attractiveness of the areas involved during the low season; on the other hand, enhancing unusual and lesser-known sites or territorial aspects, promoting in these an increase in the number of visitors and tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLACES will develop a series of diverse but coordinated interventions in 4 pilot sites in 4 regions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
