CROSSCULTOUR – Tour Guide Technology for remote regions

CrossCulTour facilitated competitiveness at remote sites by connecting them to cultural centres using innovative information and communication technologies.

The partner regions of Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia (Germany) has recorded audio tracks for its major sites enabling tourists to learn more about the era of Romanesque art, individual monuments,their myths and legends.

In order to address various source markets in international tourism as well as different target groups, the project has produced recordings in English, German, Italian, French and Dutch. Special versions for children communicate information on buildings and historic aspects in an entertaining way. Vessra Monastery, for example, can be discovered with the help of “Mechthild the Hen”.

For promotion purposes, CrossCulTour used the opportunities of online communication. To make the audio tracks available for free, the project has set up a multilingual download portal for the recorded tracks at www.transromanica.com. Tourists from all over the world can now listen to the files, prepare their journey and download the tracks for free in advance of their visits to the site itself.
