Discover Monfalcone is the project to promote the Monfalcone area and the sailing and nautical centres in the Gulf of Panzano implemented by ETT
The project envisages a promotional showcase describing tourist points of interest, aggregated by eating, sleeping and sports centres. A web portal, coordinated with a app mobile and three totem applications located in as many strategic points of the city (Marina Hannibal, Marina Lepanto e Ocean Marine), thirteen traditional bulletin boards with QR codes to link the visitor to the site and app tell about the best-known Points of Interest and suggest five in-depth cultural itineraries connected to the official FrameSport platform.
The app guides the visit of the four itineraries and delves into the history and curiosities of the 21 chosen POIs with ad hoc content (maps, text, audio, photos, videos and 360° overviews) and also offers edutainment content, designed especially for the younger target audience and aimed at increasing visitor engagement.
It can be consulted remotely, in preparation for a visit, or directly on the ground, to be guided. For a selection of points of interest, an additional visit mode is available: explorable 360-degree virtual tours created through panoramic video footage of sites and landscapes.
The project unfolds through the enhancement of four itineraries:
The Main Route, The Nautical Ports, and The Coastline;
From the shoreline to Panzano;
From the littoral to the historic center;
From the littoral to the Karst.
The system takes advantage of geolocation functionality through GPS technology: during the route, the user receives a notification suggesting to visit the site and to learn more about related content by consulting the app. At the same time, geolocation serves not only to improve the user’s visit experience and orientation, but also to provide data to the entities involved, for the purpose of statistical monitoring of attendance, in full compliance with privacy regulations (EU Regulation).
