VIRTUALIZATION OF EXPERIENCE – EVALUATING NEW COMMUNICATION TOOLS IN TOURISM AND GUIDING
Downloads
Abstract
In the modern world, tourism is perceived as the sphere of the most frequent meetings between representatives of different cultures. The result of intensive traveling and frequent entry into the space of unknown civilizations, they become unprecedented challenges on such a large scale. They include, among others the effectiveness of communication outside of one's own culture, as well as the ability to interpret and sustainably promote cultural and natural spaces, which are increasingly used by the rapidly globalizing tourism market.
