Local Tourism Scenario Examples
- A tourist experience that combines adventure, nature and sustainability
Problem
In the region where EpraTour operates, there are no coordinated tourism offerings. There is fragmented tourism landscape with various providers offering disparate services, leading to a lack of comprehensive and tailored experiences. There exists a lack of travel that combines adventure, nature and sustainability.
Potential Solutions
- EpraTour to act as an integrator of local travel services. For this purpose, it will develop a website and an experience configurator. It will conclude appropriate contracts with local licensed tour operators, transport agencies, hotels, chalets, tourist sites and the like. It will focus on organizing the delivery of the configured experience by orchestrating the actions of local suppliers.
- Creation of thematic tourist routes that unite adventure, nature and sustainability.
- Creation of a portfolio of tourist services “Time Machine”. The participants return to a certain historical period and perform the roles of people from that period. They perform activities, use tools, eat foods that are specific to the period.
