Project DiGiParks is directed at the two biggest protected areas in the cross-border region the Bulgarian Natural Park ”Vrachanski Balkan” and the Romanian Natural Park “Iron Gate”. The two parks preserve unique biological and landscape diversity and are amongst the most significant Natura 2000 zones in their countries. The cultural-historical heritage in the parks includes sites of global, national and local significance. Antique and Medieval churches, monasteries, antique fortresses, a lot of monuments and others are amongst the most significant sites. The two administrations work within the same directions as the development of sustainable tourism is one of their priority tasks. The problems they encounter in their work in this direction are also similar, and the main one is related to the discrepancy between the rich resource potential in the parks and the absence of developed attractions, exposed in conformity with the modern tendencies in the search of tourist services. The sites on the territory are little known, tourist packages are nearly missing, the tourist services are not of good quality and the parties interested in eco-tourism do not have capacity and desire for joint supply of products and services. The supply of a new kind of a common product is needed, which should enhance the attractiveness and the completeness of the supply, through the saturation with additional possibilities and with the use of modern technological means. Project DiGiParks aims at the creation of a joint integrated innovative tourist product based on the rich cultural and natural heritage and performed promotion of the renewed common positive image of two natural parks, through modern technologies. The modern 3D technologies for digitalization and subsequent exposure of sites of the cultural and natural heritage will be used for the creation of the product. Three-dimensional digital models of the natural parks with high precision and in appropriate scales will be digitalized and worked out within the framework of the project. All the significant sites of the natural and cultural heritage in the two parks will be digitalized–fortresses, churches,rock phenomena,caves, interpretative routes, which will also be 3D visualized. The same will also be done with special events, folklore customs and festivals on the two territories. Modern demonstration digital halls will be equipped and furnished in the visitors’ centers of the two parks, which it will be possible to expose the digitized sites in. The modern technologies will allow for a “flight” over the parks, “sightseeing” of interesting landscapes, selection and “visit” to specific sites from the cultural and natural heritage in virtual reality, “walk” along a specific tourist route and so on. An innovative digital web-portal with a virtual video walk around natural and cultural sites in the two parks, a virtual exhibition of the museums from the region, a database with digitalized exhibits, presentation of the traditions and the customs of the people from the cross-border region will be created. There will be possibilities to the portal for downloading of an application for 3D survey for mobile devices and possibilities for uploading of digitized 3D images. A unique tourist product, competitive, contributing to the enhancement of the economic efficiency of the tourism will be developed and introduced on the basis of all that. 4 cultural-tourist routes will be developed at the elaboration and the introduction of the tourist product in combination with natural sites, which will also be 3D digitalized and exposed in the halls and the web-portal. The visitors will have possibility to view detailed specific 3D digitalized sites of the rich cultural heritage–monasteries, antique and medieval fortresses and so on. Digitalized written and other sources – icons, gospels and others will be applied to the 3D models of these sites. Apart from that there will be possibility for sightseeing in virtual reality of significant landscapes – gorges, rock phenomena, waterfalls, caves (incl. of inside). It will be possible to “visit” attractive tourist itineraries – eco-paths, cognitive routes and so on. The potential tourists from the two sides of the border will be provided with the unique opportunity to acquire a full idea of the tourist attractions in the two parks, to fit them together and combine them. The product will be integrated with other kinds of tourism within the broader territorial context: ecological, sports, pilgrimage, vacation, summer, events related. The “printed out” in appropriate scale 3D models of specific sites of the cultural heritage - monasteries, fortresses, monuments, artifacts will be presented in specific exhibitions at the presentation of the product and the results of the Project. Significant growth of familiarity of the natural and cultural wealth of the two parks and a significant increase of the people wishing to visit it aimed at tourism will be attained a (English)
