Heritage, digital technologies and tourism management- HEDIT-24

The cultural heritage is a defining element of the identity of the societies that host it, and a key driver of the local economy. Therefore, its conservation and proper management are essential to ensure its survival over time and its transmission, in good conditions, to future generations. The Universitat Politècnica de València and the project I+D "Analysis and Development of HBIM Integration into GIS for Creating a Cultural Heritage Tourism Planning Protocol" funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation, Government of Spain, are organizing the HEDIT·2024 Congress (Valencia, June 20-21, 2024). The congress aims to provide a platform for showcasing research related to the use of digital technologies in the conservation and management of heritage. Topics to be addressed include the urgent need for digital documentation of heritage elements, the use of detection systems for preventive conservation, and the application of new technologies for the management of public and tourist use of heritage sites, among others. Given the multidisciplinary nature of the topics to be addressed, the participation of researchers and professionals from not only the field of architecture but also from other fields and sectors related to the conservation and management of heritage through digital technologies is expected. Scientific papers presented by participants and accepted by the Scientific Committee will be included in the Conference Proceedings, edited by the Universitat Politècnica de València.
