To make it possible, breaking down technological and interchange barriers, Vento d’Italia elaborates a culturally and linguistically localized communication, and develops technological architectures and software within the Chinese digital ecosystem. Moreover, considering Enogastronomy and Made in Italy as legitimate heirs of Italian historical-artistic traditions, Vento d’Italia offers visibility in the Chinese tourist market to the Italian excellences thanks to its own commercial sections. Furthermore, Vento d’Italia developed a MiniProgram, visible in Italy and in China, to allow visitors to book and directly purchase tickets and tourist services through a sophisticated geolocation service. The creative contents of Vento d’Italia, therefore, have the twofold objective of divulging the Italian artistic heritage, and recommending Italian excellences in a vibrant and unique way. The result is a full, engaging and authentic tourist experience.
