Destinations and attractions use VR/AR to enhance visitors' experience and drive foot traffic to historical attractions.
AI with AR technology is expected to advance personalization and provide visitors with a unique experience even when on a group tour, the recent ITB Berlin conference revealed.
During the ITB Berlin conference, some attractions, tech providers, and destinations discussed how these technologies would heighten the visitor experience.
