The focus on the territory and its enhancement, has contributed to the emergence of experiences that mingle with the cultural and creative world, in which the "game map" is none other than the city itself or a part of it. Players move between different places in the city performing actions and solving puzzles, discovering squares and monuments in a whole new way.

Question 28

What is immersive tourism?

Experiential or immersive tourism is a type of travel that focuses on experiences. People who choose it go around the city and, following a route on the map (chosen according to how long they stay in the city), will have to solve puzzles and take actions by observing and interacting with streets, buildings and monuments. Therefore, it is not just about sightseeing, but a true path of discovery. Adventures and immersive experiences are also an opportunity to create memories and fully experience a trip or vacation as a couple, with friends, or with one's family: even children can be involved to experience firsthand the discovery of the city, which is usually unappealing to them.
