Digital Innovation of Cultural Heritage (DICH) 
Overtourism is in the long-term damaging the actual sites, which can be avoided by offering a 3D experience to the tourists. This way the heritage is preserved. Also, digital innovating enables green and digital transformation in the cultural sector. 
Tourism 4.0 became one of the leading experts in Europe in the field of Digital Innovation of Cultural Heritage. Until today, we digitised 100+ cultural objects, have set up modern digital cultural centres and developed other innovative tools for exploring the heritage (e.g. mobile phone games). The developed content was used for the creation of 30+ unique Slovenian tourist experiences with high-added value. 
In Nova Gorica we have already established a Huture centre with the vision to become the competence centre for heritage in CEE. 

DICH was also presented as one of the Slovenian flagship cultural projects in the Slovenian pavilion at EXPO2020 in Dubai (https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=_hPFhKiyYMU). Moreover, Slovenia has invested in developing the national Portal of DICH (https://www.dikd.si/en/) where all 118 Slovenian 3D models are available. The content is also available in Europeana. 

In this field, our plans for the future are: 
1) by 2025: 
To expand our work also on natural heritage and to position our Huture centre in Nova Gorica, Slovenia as one of the lead competence centres in this field in CEE. 
To develop one pilot digitised content, combining natural & cultural heritage.
Moreover, to develop at least 30 new digitised content on the EU level using VR/AR. To enrich Europeana with newly digitised content.
To use the digitised content and create at least 3 unique, higher-added-value tourist experiences on a European level. 
We will aim to transfer digitised content from natural and cultural heritage to other sectors (film, gaming industry) with established at least 5 partnerships in these industries. 

2) by 2030: 
To organize at least 5 trainings/year in Huture centre and at least 5 other events (cultural, conferences,...)/year. 
To develop at least 5 digitised content, combining natural & cultural heritage.
To develop at least 100 new digitised content on the EU level. To enrich Europeana with newly digitised content.
To use the digitised content and create at least 10 unique, higher-added-value tourist experiences on a European level, using AR/VR.
To have fully established, long-term partnerships with other sectors (film, gaming, etc. Industries) and to transfer digital content into these sectors.
