Smart Cultural Padua Ecosystem

Many international organizations have always shown great interest in the tourism development of the cultural heritage, and, over time, have been able to adapt to globalization and to the evolution of new technologies by responding to new tourist demands through the innovative techniques of digitization or reconstruction, and through more active and engaging communication strategies to disseminate and better understand the cultural heritage. Despite the proliferation of these studies, there have been only a few studies conducted on the cultural and historical aspect of the Padua destination and its potential which will allow it to be classified among the smart destinations. So, the aim of this research is to present, alongside Padua’s artistic excellence, the city’s other many riches, and this through a digital ecosystem that meets the various requirements of a sustainable smart destination.
