Experiential Tourism
The traveller of the 20th century has another way of perceiving places; therefore, he is interested in knowing the local identity, the social capital, the natural heritage and culture, relations and local development policies capable of generating the growth of the place, and fundamentally, knowing the destination through the experience of its own inhabitants, taking close contact with its residents. This new vision of the territory postulates thinking about strategic and innovative factors, capable of identifying the characteristics of the place to transform it into a tourist scenario, based on the relationship between culture and territory, respecting traditions as synonymous with intangible cultural heritage that gives identity to the territory and makes it a unique and different space, with essence and authentic life, which fosters the emergence of Experiential Tourism
Among the characteristics that allow the emergence of Experiential Tourism, we can mention:
-
The need for travellers to create a sense of the place visited, through the experience lived in the destination.
-
The lived experience includes thinking about: the people you meet, the places you visit, the types of accommodation you select, the activities you do and in which participate, the memories created and stored in your mind.
-
Involvement with the local culture, respect for the receiving communities, care for the environment and the works of man.
-
The selection of activities carried out in open spaces, with the community and respecting the local culture to generate memorable experiences.
-
The quality of memorable experiences as synonymous with the interaction in the shared space between the visitor and the resident.
-
The search for personal fulfilment from living experiences that allow the traveller to create their own memory of it.
-
The possibility of generating their own participatory experience with new contributions to their knowledge and authentic practices.
-
The appreciation of the peculiarities of traditions, the discovery of flavours, the knowledge of local products, elements of nature and works of man, rural environments, and religious issues, among others.
Given the qualitative changes in the profile of the demand, particularly in its tastes and preferences, and with the intention of satisfying the expectations of the new traveller, tourism enterprises try to differentiate themselves, within the whole of the traditional offer. The innovation in services is based on the incorporation of greater attention to the quality and individuality of the tourist experience, as well as in the integral valuation of the patrimony and the landscape, perceived by the visitor as a value and a tourist attraction and by local agents as a factor of quality of life, development and territorial identity, a fundamental element of the image of tourism brand of a destination.
In recent years it is possible to observe the growing adaptation of the offer in some destinations located in rural, cultural, urban, natural or coastal environments, where it gets greater attention to the quality of the tourist experience to be offered. The need to overcome conception classical and traditional tourism services implies a new reorientation based on the design and creation of true experiential tourism products, where the characteristics of the territory, the presence of works of man that bear witness to the past and present, the conservation of the environment, the appreciation of the landscape, and the identity traits of the host population, become the essential elements to provide a satisfactory experience to today's traveller.
This new model of tourism development focused on the locals, allows an active role to be played by visitors, and discover with their own eyes the culture of the place, meet the community and learn from it. The new trends in demand try to minimize the environmental, cultural and negative economic caused by tourist activity. In this context, Experiential Tourism is based on the emotions and feelings of travellers as the axis of the activities carried out in the place visited, tries to intensify the experiences lived in each trip, and becomes a product of experience where it is possible to appreciate all the characteristics of the place, both for its cultural and natural value; in this way turns the vacation into a real adventure with emotions, where the visitor comes into contact with the local culture, goes through the different forms of destiny, try a trade, and experience new sensations that you will remember with the emotion experienced at that moment.
