WORKSHOP:
Using data to reveal hidden opportunities and challenges for cultural tourism
Facilitators: Juuso Koponen & Jonatan Hildén (Koponen+Hildén)
Topic summary: A data-driven approach to cultural tourism’s impact on and potential for Ljubljana
The workshop takes a data-driven look at cultural tourism in Ljubljana. Are some cultural attractions inconveniently located in regard to the tourist infrastructure such as hotels, or underserved by transport? How does cultural tourism in Ljubljana compare to other cities in the region and in Europe more generally? Who visits Ljubljana, and who doesn’t? What is the economic and societal impact of cultural tourism? These and many other questions are answerable using data and visual analysis. The participants will look at the data available and what insights can be gained from it, as well as creating a list of potentially useful data sets that are currently not available.
