The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the entire tourism industry, respectively the cultural sector. Almost 13% of museums are at risk of not reopening, more than 80% of UNESCO World Heritage sites are closed, and many people working in tourism-related industries are currently unemployed.

It is for these reasons that the aim of the project is to empower young people to promote Heritage Tourism resources through the development of their own skills in Digital Design for the digital transformation of heritage tourism. Moving towards a whole new era in cultural tourism, which integrates the concept of digital tourism heritage into cultural life, young jobseekers need to be trained with competencies that will enable them to excel in a narrow and at the same time competitive industry.

There are two main results for achieving the goals of HERTOUR4YOUTH:

• Digital Designer Compendium - this output aims at delivering a practical e-course for young adults, related to Digital Design main aspects and skills (incl. banner ads, UI/UX wireframes, website elements, infographics, layout principles, etc.)

• Digital Heritage Tour Facilitator - the objective of this output is to support young people in increasing and retaining their skills in the long-term through a web-based tool that will facilitate the learning process and the skills retention. Participants will be able to create their own Digital Heritage Tour Guide promoting the local tourism.
