Pioneering Cultural Preservation and Innovation in Tourism

We at TourData.ai are thrilled to announce our latest partnership with Casas Contadas, led by the esteemed Alice Luxo. This collaboration, funded and made possible by CulTourData, is a groundbreaking venture in the realm of cultural preservation and tourism innovation, focusing on the rich heritage of Santo António and the scenic beauty of the Center Region of Portugal.

Introducing Casas Contadas

Casas Contadas, under the leadership of Alice Luxo, a renowned Cultural Tourism and Heritage Interpreter with over 20 years of experience, has been instrumental in bringing to life the historical essence of Coimbra. Throught the years, and through different partnerships, Alice has developed “Caminhos de Santo António”, a series of thematic cultural tours that navigate the life of Saint Anthony in Coimbra during the 13th century.

Joint Mission

Our collaborative project with Casas Contadas aims to digitally preserve and promote the cultural heritage associated with Santo António. By integrating augmented reality technology, we are set to transform the traditional tourism experience, offering visitors an immersive journey through history.

Innovation in Tourism

This initiative will revolutionize the way visitors interact with Coimbra’s historical sites. The augmented reality component will provide a bridge between the past and the present, allowing tourists to experience the city through Saint Anthony’s eyes, in a unique blend of centuries.

Promoting the Center Region

Our project plays a pivotal role in promoting the center of Portugal as a distinguished and sustainable tourism destination. By highlighting Saint Anthony’s historical significance and Coimbra’s cultural depth, we aim to encourage visitors to explore and appreciate the region’s rich heritage.

Sustainable Tourism Development

In our commitment to sustainable tourism, we are partnering with local businesses, arts, and crafts stores, cafes, and bakeries along the tour routes. This approach aims to stimulate local economies and preserve traditional cultural activities, offering visitors a truly authentic and tailor-made experience.

Educational Outreach

The initiative extends beyond tourism, serving as an educational resource for schools, researchers, and cultural enthusiasts. By creating a comprehensive cultural database and an interactive digital platform, we are setting new standards in preserving and co-creating cultural heritage.

The Road Ahead

We are embarking on a journey of digital transformation. Our collaboration with Mariana Alfafar, a creative digital artist, and EAI, a leader in Data Strategy and Science, will ensure that our tours are not only innovative but also data-driven. This approach will allow us to continuously refine our offerings based on visitor interactions and preferences.
