How is this sector reinventing itself through digitisation?[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=&#8221;139490&#8243; dynamic=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shape=&#8221;img-round&#8221; radius=&#8221;std&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;139123&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;111358&#8243;]For several decades, tourism \u2014 like many other sectors \u2014 has faced the arrival of new digital technologies and must integrate them into its strategy in an innovative and intelligent way. It is about adapting to clients&#8217; technology expectations, but above all responding to the trend towards stays that are more experiential, more local, more authentic and more sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>The pandemic accelerated this process. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/apolitical.co\/solution-articles\/fr\/comment-promouvoir-linnovation-dans-le-secteur-du-tourisme-en-partenariat-avec-les-gouvernements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apolitical<\/a>, since the pandemic most tourism investment has been directed towards digital and technological solutions: foreign direct investment in tourism software rose by 41.9% in 2021 compared with the previous year. This strategy also supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), according to <a href=\"https:\/\/apolitical.co\/solution-articles\/fr\/comment-promouvoir-linnovation-dans-le-secteur-du-tourisme-en-partenariat-avec-les-gouvernements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the same article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we explore two facets of innovation in tourism and examine how they are redefining the modern travel experience: e-tourism and heritage digitisation.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243; text_height=&#8221;fontheight-145063&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;440889&#8243;]E-tourism at the service of travellers[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;160394&#8243;]E-tourism, or electronic tourism, emerged with the adoption of technology by travellers and the tourism industry. It is helping to completely redefine the travel experience. It encompasses services and tools that simplify and enhance the entire journey \u2014 from planning and booking to exploring and sharing experiences. Travellers can search and book online, use travel apps, social networks and connected tools. It makes information quickly accessible at any time, allows experiences to be personalised by choosing routes, accommodation and activities aligned with one&#8217;s interests, and saves time and money. Today, e-tourism has become the norm \u2014 so what innovations can new technologies still bring to the tourism sector?[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243; text_height=&#8221;fontheight-145063&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;365299&#8243;]The potential of digital innovation to reinvent tomorrow&#8217;s tourism[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;149869&#8243;]According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewag.fr\/2021\/07\/innovation-tourisme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the French Directorate General for Enterprise report<\/a>, innovation in tourism is above all digital (80%) and focused on user experience. Emerging trends include:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Artificial intelligence (AI):<\/strong> AI is used to personalise travel recommendations, improve visitor flow management and deliver more advanced virtual experiences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Augmented reality (AR) &amp; virtual reality (VR):<\/strong> AR and VR technologies enhance the traveller experience by revealing places and sites in a more immersive, interactive way, with new sensations. Very recently, in 2024, the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eternellenotredame.com\/\">Eternelle Notre-Dame<\/a>&#8221; exhibition offered a genuine journey through time retracing the cathedral&#8217;s construction. This type of showcase remains, however, reserved for exceptional sites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Digitisation of tangible and intangible heritage:<\/strong> Digitising tangible and intangible heritage \u2014 the history of buildings, natural curiosities, traditions (traditional music and oral traditions) \u2014 is also gaining ground. This last point deserves further attention, as it is precisely the focus we have developed with <strong>Genius Loci<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;116726&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4>In Europe, only 517 sites are inscribed on the <a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/fr\/list\/\">UNESCO World Heritage List<\/a>. They concentrate showcase initiatives and, unfortunately, sometimes <strong>overtourism<\/strong>. With Genius Loci, we wanted to create a modern, sustainable and participatory tool to showcase the 200,000 other villages and localities that struggle to bring their attractions to light.<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243; text_height=&#8221;fontheight-145063&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;127282&#8243;]Digitising tangible and intangible heritage: a new cultural dimension[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;214417&#8243;]Heritage digitisation means converting cultural and historical elements \u2014 whether tangible (monuments, museums, built heritage, etc.) or intangible (traditions, history, etc.) \u2014 and making them accessible to the public online. This opens new possibilities for preserving, sharing and exploring cultural heritage. It can mean <strong>making heritage accessible remotely<\/strong>, for example through virtual museum visits from home.<\/p>\n<p>There are nevertheless challenges: digitisation costs, data reliability and quality, copyright protection, and unequal access to technology, which creates a form of inequality. Digitisation also helps preserve heritage elements digitally, reducing wear from physical exposure \u2014 and because the memories of our ancestors are being lost.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243; text_height=&#8221;fontheight-145063&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;406792&#8243;]A growing need for data[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;194572&#8243;]More than ever, we live in the age of big data.<br \/>\nCollecting quality data has become crucial for tourism organisations.<\/p>\n<p>These qualitative and quantitative data help analyse visitor flows and infrastructure needs, and improve traveller comfort and experience.<\/p>\n<p>Nine years ago, when we had the idea for Genius Loci, it seemed impossible to deploy digital experiences in the heart of nature \u2014 but as technology evolves, capturing 5G even deep in the woods has become commonplace.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243; text_height=&#8221;fontheight-145063&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;121053&#8243;]Genius Loci connected medals meet the need to digitise heritage and the trend towards local, experiential, social and sustainable slow tourism.[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;102182&#8243;]According to UNESCO&#8217;s objectives, it is essential to inventory, digitise and make local heritage known \u2014 even outside the most touristic regions. As St\u00e9phane Bern puts it, heritage is the only factor of equality between cities and countryside, between our territories. Yet <strong>52% of our heritage is found in municipalities with fewer than 2,000 inhabitants. This is an extraordinary wealth that must be nurtured, showcased, protected and preserved \u2014 and that can clearly help safeguard the economic development of territories.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Genius Loci connected medals respond to this need by showcasing a region&#8217;s hidden treasures in a sustainable and participatory way. This is <strong>phygital<\/strong> tourism signage \u2014 both physical and digital:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>A &#8220;medal&#8221;<\/strong> in particularly durable stainless steel, designed for outdoor use. It is placed at a point of interest, carries a unique QR code and provides access to the place&#8217;s content.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A digital space<\/strong> dedicated to the point of interest, accessible on site to visitors only. It is managed by locals passionate about nature, culture or history, under the supervision of municipalities acting as contributors and moderators.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Current features allow sharing text and images, integrating unlimited video and audio, and locating nearby medals via a &#8220;proximity radar&#8221; mode. Content can be liked and commented on, and co-created. Any trusted person can be invited to write content on the digital interface \u2014 the aim being to involve residents with rich, emotional stories. Ultimately, this creates <strong>a bridge between the older generation who hold the knowledge and younger generations eager for new technologies.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Innovation in tourism \u2014 especially through e-tourism and heritage digitisation \u2014 has transformed how we travel, explore cultural heritage and interact with the world around us. These advances offer many opportunities for a more immersive, more local and more sustainable travel experience.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image
