This shift is rapidly spreading across the globe.
Barcelona, ​​Spain, has introduced an on-demand bus service, allowing citizens and travelers to connect with public transportation by specifying their desired time and location through an app.
Kyoto, Japan, is operating a smart crowd management system that integrates ICT into cultural heritage management, controlling congestion in real time and guiding travelers to optimal routes.

The key to AI tourism transportation is not a race for speed.
It lies in its power to rediscover the path, its ability to lead the traveler out of the familiar order and into an unfamiliar experience.
When transportation goes beyond simple route navigation and enables entry into other worlds, we experience heterotopia on the road.

Heterotopian festivals leverage technology to further enhance immersive experiences. VR and AR experiences offer participants the opportunity to experience worlds that don't exist in reality, enhancing sensory immersion and leading to greater satisfaction and learning outcomes.
Gamification transforms travelers from mere consumers into active players.

Neurotourism uses brain science techniques to observe responses that travelers may not even be aware of.
Before we make a conscious choice, our brain is already evaluating surrounding stimuli and preparing how to react.
Therefore, it is possible to directly measure the emotions that tourists feel in a specific place, such as fascination, anxiety, and fatigue, through brain waves and brain imaging.
