The cultural tourism sector, a vital part of the European economy, faces significant challenges as it adapts to Web 3.0 and green transitions. To remain competitive and sustainable in this new era, the sector must acquire new skills and knowledge. Web3Tour addresses these challenges by creating a specialized accelerator program providing targeted training and capacity-building activities in decentralization, entrepreneurship, professional development, digitalization, and sustainable business models. This initiative will also foster networking and collaboration among cultural tourism professionals.
We, as a leading digital innovation agency, play a crucial role in the Web3Tour project. We are responsible for developing and delivering comprehensive training programs aimed at empowering cultural tourism professionals to thrive in emerging technologies such as blockchain, AI, virtual and augmented reality.
Our Main Role in the Program:

This training aims to equip professionals with the knowledge to integrate these technologies into their business models effectively.
Development of Metaverse Training Program
Provides in-depth training on the metaverse, including virtual worlds and avatars. This program covers the basics of virtual world experiences, the design and building of virtual worlds and avatars, and best practices for creating and maintaining a presence in the metaverse.
In addition to our training development responsibilities, TheFutureCats also leads the communication and dissemination efforts for the Web3Tour project which includes.
- Developing and executing strategies to ensure effective outreach and engagement with the target audience, including cultural managers, heritage managers, and cultural tourism operators.

Impact and Future Prospects

TheFutureCats’ efforts in communication and dissemination ensure widespread awareness and participation, fostering a collaborative environment for innovation. This project aims to create a positive impact on the cultural tourism sector by helping participants adapt to Web 3.0 and green transitions, equipping them with the necessary skills and resources to sustain their business models, and promoting cross-sector collaborations to drive innovative solutions.
