THE INCREASING PRESENCE OF TOURISTS IN THE CITY LIFEAND THE STRATEGIC ROLE OF THE LOCAL AIRPORT
The number of tourists in the city of Bergamo is widely increased in
recent years thanks to the close presence of an important airport.
This airport, the IlCaravaggio Orio al Serio International Airport is
the third most important airport in the north of Italy and it covers a
significant position both in the national and European airport system.

The distance of the airport from the city center is only about 6
kilometers (3.5 miles) and due to this, tourists can easily have a visit
in Bergamo city.
The boost in the tourists presence was also given by the decision of
a very important European low cost company (RYANAIR) to set
Bergamo airport as its second HUB in Europe.

LACK OF INFORMATION ABOUT BERGAMO
However, even if the presence of tourists is becoming an important
element for Bergamo economy, it has to be signaled the absence of
a smart and interactive mean that provides dynamic informationabout the city.
Relevant information could be found on different staticweb site or ontraditional leaflets and paper maps.

Tourists, that desire to obtain information about Bergamo, have to
collect pieces on information from different sources and summarize
them in function of their necessity.
Question:
Is it possible to define something that allows people to have easily
dynamic information about the city?

What kind of dynamic information should be provided? (hints)places to visit and how to reach them (navigation system?)
free historical information about the principal monument and
buildings?
traditional restaurant and tavern?
events and entrainment activities?
Everything could be based on the actual position, desire andexpectaiton of the specific tourist.

LACK OF FEEDBACKS FROM TOURISTS
Moreover, another problem is that there is nothing that allows to
have tourists feedbacks. This delivered back information could be
useful for improving the experience of future tourists in the city.
For example having information about what tourists visit and like
could be used smartly by local authorities and tourism offices in
order to improve already existing services or to create new ones.
