In the era of tourism excellence, designing multi-sensory impressions has become a revolutionary strategy that redefines the concept of visitor experience and fundamentally impacts the effectiveness of place marketing. This strategy represents a qualitative shift from traditional tourism to comprehensive experience-based tourism that touches visitors' emotions and creates unforgettable memories.
The Concept of Multi-Sensory Impressions in Tourism
Multi-sensory design is an integrated methodology that aims to stimulate all five senses of visitors in a balanced and harmonious way:
Sight: Visual scenes and designs
Hearing: Local sounds and music
Touch: Textures and sensory interaction
Smell: Distinctive scents and fragrances
Taste: Local flavors and cuisines
