What potential impact can the ARCHAEODIGIT project have on cultural tourism in the Municipality of Omišalj and on the island of Krk? This question is at the heart of a new video interview released within the framework of the ARCHAEODIGIT project.
In the interview, Majda Šale, Director of the Tourist Board of the Island of Krk, highlights the strong potential of the project, which has been launched in the Municipality of Omišalj together with the other project partners.
The project is considered highly significant not only for Omišalj, but for the entire island of Krk. It promotes the digitalization and enhancement of cultural heritage, supporting a broader approach to preservation, interpretation, and promotion of archaeological and cultural assets.
In this context, digitalization refers to the archiving and long-term preservation of archaeological artefacts, sites, and other cultural landmarks across Omišalj and the island of Krk. This process increases the visibility of cultural heritage while also enhancing the destination itself, making it more accessible and engaging for both residents and visitors.
A key element of the project is the use of innovative technologies such as 3D modelling and virtual tours. These tools improve accessibility and visibility of cultural sites, while also attracting new visitors familiar with digital experiences. In this way, the project supports the development of new forms of cultural tourism across Omišalj and the island of Krk.
Overall, the ARCHAEODIGIT project contributes to positioning the island of Krk as a distinctive cultural tourism destination that combines heritage, innovation, and sustainability, key elements for the future development of tourism in the region.
