With the approval of the People's Committee of Thua Thien Hue province on the pilot implementation of the check-in platform and recording the presence of tourists at Hai Van Quan relic, the Hue Monuments Conservation Center has coordinated with Phygital Labs and the Information Technology Center of Thua Thien Hue province to develop and deploy a multi-interactive experiential tourism solution at Hai Van Quan.
Explore history through 3D digital travel maps
Hai Van Quan relic site has been digitized into a 3D tourist map, creating a cultural discovery journey through stories and check-in missions at 9 special locations. The 3D digital map recreates the majestic natural panorama of Hai Van Quan peak, allowing visitors to admire and explore in detail the rich history of the structure through the ages, from its formation to important events in the history of territorial defense.
The highlight is the combination of reality and technology, enhancing the interactive experience. Visitors only need to use their smartphones to touch the check-in board with NFC chip at the attractions, thereby immediately accessing information about each area, historical events and cultural values of each point at Hai Van Quan. This is not only providing information but also a way for visitors to truly immerse themselves in the flow of history, clearly feeling every moment that this place has experienced and marked.
Hands-on experience at Hai Van Quan with NFC technology and receive digital badges
Hai Van Quan today is not only a historical relic but also offers a unique digital experience with NFC technology. Through each touch of the NFC chip at check-in points, visitors can discover vivid historical and cultural stories that appear right before their eyes. This is an example of a check-in point at Hai Van Quan at the main gate after using a smartphone to scan the NFC code.
Users simply turn on the NFC feature on their smartphones and hold their phones close to the NFC chip as instructed to explore the check-in points. After completing all 9 points, visitors will receive a digital badge - a digital certificate for their journey. This badge is not only a unique souvenir but also proves that visitors have officially conquered the "Thien Ha De Nhat Hung Quan".
Digital Technology - A Bridge for Local Tourism Development
Phygital Labs’ interactive tourism solution combines digital technology with cultural heritage, providing a new way of discovery and contributing to promoting local tourism. After only 20 days of implementation at Hai Van Quan, the project attracted more than 2,000 check-ins and created 200 memorable moments.
Not only appealing to domestic but also international tourists, this solution helps them save and share their experiences on their personal pages and websites. This motivates tourists to explore all 9 locations, while spreading positive stories and inspiration about Vietnam’s heritage to the community.
“We see great potential in combining technology with culturally significant sites and will expand the Hai Van Quan model to thousands of other sites across the country,” said Huy Nguyen, CEO of Phygital Labs. “This is a way to show how technology can breathe new life into traditional values, making them more vibrant and accessible.”
