Chapter 13: Digital Applications in Tourist Guidance and Cultural Heritage Transfer

Digital applications take place in every moment of human life. These applications continue to be used in many sectors such as health, tourism, education, and trade. One of the sectors where digital applications are frequently used is tourism. Various digital platforms such as mobile applications, headsets, artificial intelligence forms are used. It is impossible to escape the use of technology in the tourism sector, where competition is fierce. It is important to follow and apply technology applications in order to follow the international system. Digital applications within the tourism sector are also evaluated within the scope of cultural heritage elements. Tourist guides who explain cultural heritage elements to tourists and provide information should have knowledge about the use of digital applications. Tourist guides should be able to use digital platforms and follow technology-based developments. In this way, competitive advantage will be gained in the global environment. In addition, cultural heritage elements will be transferred to the future through digital applications.
