• Abstract: Cultural heritage sites in Italy typically attract a large number of tourists every year. However, the lack of support for i) locating contents of interest; ii) discovering information on specific contents; and iii) ease of navigation within the heritage site; hinders the overall experience of the visitor. To this end, in this work, we present a Digital Object Space Management service developed as a part of the VASARI project. The service generates a digital twin (with 3D visualization) of a given cultural heritage site and further provides support for navigation and localization, thereby providing an immersive cultural experience to the visitor.

  Tourist crowding degrades the visitor experience and negatively impacts the environment and the local population. This motivated us to develop, within the framework of the European RESETTING project related to the digital transformation of tourism, a platform to visualize this crowding. The platform takes into account the carrying capacity of the target sites when calculating crowding density.

  We build upon the current theoretical discourse of anthropology associated with visuality and heritage tourism to identify travel patterns across a known archaeological heritage circuit in Cuzco, Peru. Our goals are to (1) understand how the intensification of tourism intersects with heritage regulations and social media, aiding in the articulation of travel patterns across Cuzco's heritage landscape; and to (2) assess how aesthetic preferences and visuality become entangled with the rapidly evolving expectations of tourists, whose travel narratives are curated on social media and grounded in historic site representations.
