2. These Lab Files are produced as a follow up of the project
named TourismLab, organized by the Creative Ring during
NetFutures, an event held by the European Commision from
25th to 26th March 2015 at the EGG.
This document, a work in process, will be shared with the
Creative Ring community and with everyone interested in its
co-creation process.
The project merges ideas from the event, together with the
ongoing‘Touristlab’research by creative think tank Addictlab
(‘Voyage’, ‘Ideas on Travel and Tourism”,“touristlab.org”)
The Creative Ring challenged its members via Yola, a dedi-
cated online collaborative platform, to share their opinions
and fresh ideas about four important issues concerning the
Tourism Sector.
- Storytelling as a new way to communicate tourism
context;
- ICT & new experiences, looking for new ideas or new
technologies which are innovating the tourism industry;
- Local Economy, investigating how tourism can help the
development of the local economy;
- Social Innovation, considering how innovation could
positively change society.
During NetFutures, the ideas digitally collected on Yola were
shown on the Idea Wall, a physical laboratory developed by
Creative Ring partner YourOwnLab. The Tourism Lab at Net
Futures Conference gave participants the opportunity to
discover how the Creative Ring supports its community to
collaborate and co-create.

3. One month before the Net Futures conference, Creative Ring
opened a digital lab on YOLA, a dedicated online
collaborative platform. Creative Ring’s community was
invited to share their ideas about the four opened issues.
Thirty four members took part in the project, sharing a lot of
interesting inputs, which were used to inspire Net Futures’
attendees.

At the Net Futures conference Creative Ring involved the
event’s participants in a co-creation exercise by using the
Idea Wall.
This tool is composed of five thematic panels, where people
have the occasion to express their views or sketch out their
own idea, by filling in preprinted flyers.

The Tourism Lab project was developed as a collaboration of the Creative Ring and Addictlab, with the technical supports

5. 1. STORY TELLING
Research and ideas to innovate the travel and tourism market LAB
FILES
What is the benefit of storytelling in a tourism
context? Can we find ideas to implement
this?
Storytelling is you talking with your friends
about your last trip, showing pictures, videos
and the souvenir that you bought. Indeed, this
narrative technique is changing the way to de-
scribe a place, a service or a local product by
emotionally engaging visitors and users.
25. 2. SOCIAL INNOVATION
Research and ideas to innovate the travel and tourism market LAB
FILES
How tourism industry can change by thinking of
and including minorities?
The tourist industry has become a key sector of
the European economy, generating over 10% of
EU GDP (directly or indirectly) and employing
9.7m citizens in 1.8m businesses.
Not always does this business impact positively
on the social life of cities and their communi-
ties.
28. 3. LOCAL ECONOMY
Research and ideas to innovate the travel and tourism market LAB
FILES
How can tourism help developing the local
economy?
Tourism is a major economic activity in the
European Union with wide-ranging impact on
economic growth, employment and social de-
velopment. It can be a powerful tool in fighting
economic decline and unemployment.
50. 4. ICT & New Experiences
Research and ideas to innovate the travel and tourism market LAB
FILES
How can we use ICT and new technologies to
innovate the tourism industry?
Did you see anything interesting or do you have
a fresh new idea? Today everyone has a mobile
phone, we have easy access to wifi connection
and it is natural to book a trip from our
own living room. But what is next?

Videovivo è una piattaforma software e diservizi per realizzare progetti di video interat-
tivo.
Consente di realizzare interazioni sofisticate
e video interattivi per applicazioni e ‘format’
differenti quali eCommerce, formazione, vid-
eoguide culturali, quiz e tanti altri.
Un video interattivo arricchisce un video nor-
male con contenuti addizionali o approfondi-
menti, quali testi, immagini, altri video, social
media streams, form interattivi ed elementi di
gioco. Gli elementi interattivi appaiono all’in-
terno del video e vengono attivati per effetto
di un ‘tocco’ o di un click dell’utente. Le mo-
dalità con cui sono visualizzati non interferi-
scono con l’esperienza / fruizione del video,
creano ‘engagement’ e aggiungono valore co-
municativo.

The Long Distance Love watch
allows you to see the time both
in your city and your loved
one’s.
When you travel, you set the red
dot relative to your hour hand
to the time distance between
you.
When reunited, re-align the red
dot.

PLAYGROUND is a game application developed
within the context of SPECIFI project that allows
users to discover the city in a playful way. The
application and its interactive game mechanics
were designed in close cooperation with New
Heroes Foundation in Amsterdam and iMinds
(Ghent, Belgium).
PLAYGROUND has been designed for Kortrijk
and was never used before. Kortrijk citizens and
visitors will use the app on their smartphones
throughout October. Their experience and feed-
back will then stimulate further development by
the promoters.

97. The Creative Ring, initially developed by SPECIFI, is a
new experimental community and platform for sharing
creative and innovative content and activities all over
Europe, using advanced Internet technologies and
networks.
It is based on an open collaboration between local
artists and creative industries (comprising cultural,
media, arts, advertising and other sectors) with univer-
sities, local authorities and ICT companies in each city
and region. This way, the Creative Ring intends to bring
together solutions for infrastructure, useful and proven
FI systems and applications; the Creative Industries can
experiment or deploy these systems and the resulting
innovative content.
The pillars of the Creative Ring are: HUBS, TOOLS, PART-
NERS and PROJECTS.
The Creative Ring will establish connections with exist-
ing organisations and institutions working in different
domains through NETWORKS. The networks, and their
members, will receive preferential access to the Creative
Ring hubs, tools and projects. These links will enable
collaborations not only between Creative Industries
but will connect creativity with many other areas of
research, innovation and experimentation.
