Mike Duignan; Jan Storgards

Abstract

Dr Michael Duignan, Anglia Ruskin University, Lorraine Turner, YoYo Let’s Go and Dr Jan Storgards, Anglia Ruskin University. This workshop will look at ways in which destinations can increase visitor dwell times and take visitors away from dependency on the honey pot sites. How can digital platforms and GPS be used to create easy-to-use and fun routes and itineraries, taking visitors off the beaten track and spreading the benefits of visitors. Mike Duignan will set the scene, Jan Storgards will discuss the integration of gamification into the urban environment and Lorraine Turner will demonstrate a new and innovative visitor app which is gaining traction in Cambridge.
