The thesis investigates the role of design as a strategic tool for enhancing experiential tourism, with a particular focus on the city of Bari. Through the analysis of territorial and cultural heritage, the work explores how tourism can be reimagined to encourage authentic interaction between visitors and local communities, moving beyond the dynamics of mass tourism. The research combines a theoretical approach, aimed at examining the evolution of cultural tourism into experiential tourism, with a practical study structured in several phases: analysis of Bari’s urban context as a case study, qualitative interviews with local stakeholders, direct observation, and collaboration with Loliv, a Bari-based company specialising in experiential tourism. This collaboration provided an in-depth understanding of the dynamics behind the design of tourist experiences and allowed for the identification of concrete strategies to enrich the offering through design. A co-creation-based design methodology is proposed, aimed at developing artefacts and services that prolong and narrate the tourism experience, strengthening the emotional connection with the territory. The findings highlight the importance of tourism that integrates sustainability, inclusivity, and the enhancement of local traditions, with design positioned as a key factor in innovating the tourism offer. The thesis concludes with a concrete design proposal, outlining new opportunities for experiential tourism in both urban and regional contexts.
La tesi indaga il ruolo del design come strumento strategico per valorizzare il turismo esperienziale, con un focus particolare sulla città di Bari. Attraverso l’analisi del patrimonio territoriale e culturale, il lavoro esplora come il turismo possa essere ripensato per favorire l’interazione autentica tra visitatori e comunità locali, superando le dinamiche del turismo di massa. La ricerca combina un approccio teorico, volto a esaminare l’evoluzione del turismo culturale verso il turismo esperienziale, con uno studio pratico articolato in diverse fasi: analisi del contesto urbano di Bari come caso studio, interviste qualitative con stakeholder locali, osservazione diretta e una collaborazione con Loliv, un’azienda barese specializzata in turismo esperienziale. Questa collaborazione ha permesso di approfondire dall’interno le dinamiche di progettazione di esperienze turistiche e di identificare strategie concrete per arricchire l’offerta attraverso il design. Viene proposta una metodologia di progettazione incentrata sulla co-creazione, che mira a sviluppare artefatti e servizi in grado di prolungare e raccontare l’esperienza turistica rafforzando il legame emotivo con il territorio. I risultati evidenziano l’importanza di un turismo che integri sostenibilità, inclusività e valorizzazione delle tradizioni locali, ponendo il design come fattore chiave per innovare l’offerta turistica. La tesi si conclude con una proposta progettuale concreta, che delinea nuove opportunità per il turismo esperienziale in contesti urbani e regionali.

Abstract
The thesis investigates the role of design as a strategic tool for enhancing experiential tourism, with a particular focus on the city of Bari. Through the analysis of territorial and cultural heritage, the work explores how tourism can be reimagined to encourage authentic interaction between visitors and local communities, moving beyond the dynamics of mass tourism. The research combines a theoretical approach, aimed at examining the evolution of cultural tourism into experiential tourism, with a practical study structured in several phases: analysis of Bari’s urban context as a case study, qualitative interviews with local stakeholders, direct observation, and collaboration with Loliv, a Bari-based company specialising in experiential tourism. This collaboration provided an in-depth understanding of the dynamics behind the design of tourist experiences and allowed for the identification of concrete strategies to enrich the offering through design. A co-creation-based design methodology is proposed, aimed at developing artefacts and services that prolong and narrate the tourism experience, strengthening the emotional connection with the territory. The findings highlight the importance of tourism that integrates sustainability, inclusivity, and the enhancement of local traditions, with design positioned as a key factor in innovating the tourism offer. The thesis concludes with a concrete design proposal, outlining new opportunities for experiential tourism in both urban and regional contexts.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
