Description
Summary:Understanding the cultural aspects of an area rich in heritage is crucial for building a lasting educational experience from an excursion. Many articles in the literature explore the use of sophisticated technologies to achieve such a goal. Tourism proposals for inland areas are significant because the presence of human artifacts and signage can harm the experience and create pollutants. Through a holistic methodology and analysis, this paper examines the signage for an area rich in cultural and natural assets: this study encompasses history, touristic vocation, and the environmental context. According to the analysis, slow, community-involved tourism is the preferred destination, and the signage solution must meet strict sustainability requirements in the social, economic, and environmental realms. After applying the appropriate governance guidelines, QR code technology was selected for a thoroughly documented experimental deployment.
