iEastPelion: Technology Meets Nature and Culture
Eastern Pelion enters the digital tourism era through the iEastPelion project
The project aims to enhance the visitor experience and transform tourism services in one of Greece’s most renowned and captivating destinations: Zagora and Mouresi in the region of Thessaly.
Through the innovative application, visitors will be able to discover the area’s natural and cultural attractions in an easy, practical, and engaging way, while tourism professionals will gain new opportunities to promote their businesses and services.
Scope of Work
Through the new application, users will be able to:
- Explore the area both remotely from their place of residence and in real time through dynamic guided tours.
- Access information about historical, archaeological, religious, and natural attractions.
- Plan their stay and transportation by selecting accommodation, dining, and entertainment options.
- Filter points of interest according to their personal preferences and create thematic routes.
- Interact with other users by sharing photos and videos.
- Create and publish their own routes, offering new exploration options to other visitors.
- Access their favourite locations and the most popular routes.
The application will be multilingual and available for smartphones and tablets, providing a valuable tool for both visitors and local tourism businesses. Tourism professionals will be able to manage their profiles, promote their services, and dynamically update their content. In addition, interactive features will enhance the area’s visibility and encourage immersive visitor experiences.
As part of the project, an interactive information point (Info-Point) equipped with modern technology will also be installed in a dedicated location, allowing visitors to become familiar with the application’s features.
