ABSTRACT

Information and communication technologies (ICT) are transforming the way we see the world. In the field of tourism, for example, ICTs increasingly influence our approach to destinations, changing our relationship with travel, its organization, understanding and experience, as well as our sense of orientation. Indeed, the use of applications for smartphones and tablets is revolutionizing tourists’ negotiations of their travel domains. In this frame, many applications for smartphones and tablets have been conceived and implemented with the purpose of re-evaluating the historical system of Venice’s waterways and its related heritage.
