HERIT-DATA promotes the use of smart and open data to better manage tourism flows in natural and cultural heritage sites. The project aims to identify innovative solutions, with the support of new technologies and big data, to reduce the negative impacts of tourism on cultural and natural heritage sites. HERIT-DATA has defined a set of indicators to collect data about tourism flows and is developing an online platform to analyze this data. The platform will help policymakers, destination managers, cities and sites to anticipate and manage the tourism flows in a smarter way. An App will use this data and help visitors to better organize their visits. All these tools will be tested in six pilot sites in Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, France, Greece, Italy and Spain.

The toolkit provides businesses with fact sheets and contact information to connect export-ready Aboriginal tourism products to the market. The toolkit is one of the deliverable actions under the NSW Aboriginal Tourism Action Plan. DNSW also provides assistance to Aboriginal tourism operators in the development of their businesses, from concept to market ready in both Australian and international markets.

The aim of these recommendations is to encourage tourism enterprises to develop their operations in a responsible and sustainable manner, while enabling those indigenous communities that wish to open up to tourism to take full grasp of opportunities that come along, following a thorough consultation process. The recommendations also target tourists that visit indigenous communities, and whose numbers are steadily increasing given the growth of tourism motivated by the interest to experience indigenous cultures and traditional lifestyles.
