The goal of the competition: to make tourism an exciting XR adventure

• Increase duration of visit. Transform museum halls, urban art objects and architectural monuments into exciting XR adventures! Tourists will be able to immerse themselves in unknown worlds. They will extend their stay in the region and enjoy every moment of the trip.
  

• Reconstruction without bricks, nails or permits. Forgotten historical monuments are waiting to be restored. You will no longer need any permissions to revive them. Thanks to augmented reality and the creativity of enthusiasts, these monuments will gain new life, attracting the interest of tourists and reviving interest in history and culture.
  

• Redistribution of tourist flows. You will have the opportunity to redirect tourist flows on the fly, opening up new routes for travelers to the most unique corners of the country! In this way, you can revitalize entire regions, create new jobs and replenish local budgets.
