Preserving relics of the 4.0 era in Khanh Hoa
In recent years, Khanh Hoa tourism industry has changed its approach in introducing cultural and historical heritage to the public.
One of the clear steps forward is the Khanh Hoa Provincial Monuments Conservation Center has stepped up the digitalization of the relic system.
Previously, to get information about relics in Khanh Hoa, visitors had to go to the site or search for documents from books and information via social networks.
Meanwhile, visitors now have more options to learn about heritage.
The Monuments Conservation Center has built electronic information pages to introduce heritages recognized by UNESCO, national relics, provincial relics and famous local heritages and digital maps of relics.
Through the comprehensive website, visitors can easily provide automated Vietnamese - English bilingual explanations for 16 national relics.
In particular, VR360 virtual reality technology has been applied to serve visitors to Ponagar Tower through the approach road.
Ms. Tran Thi Cuc - a tourist from Dak Lak province, shared: "There is no longer a need to jostle or depend on the tour schedule. I can stop at any corner, enlarge the sculpture details or learn about each arch and temple yard, suitable for my mood and schedule.
Vists can simply navigate with just a chuot, or by hand on a touch screen. I can rotate 360°, moving from one area to another - from the main tower complex to the temple yard, ancient tombs - with the feeling of being exploring reality" - Ms. Cuc excitedly said.
Heritage conservation associated with tourism development
Mr. Tran Duc Ha - Khanh Hoa Province Monuments Conservation Center added that the unit has digitized the management records of the ranked monuments. Currently, the unit continues to update data for relics in South Khanh Hoa.
After the merger, Khanh Hoa province has 3 special national relics, 28 national relics and 241 provincial relics. Regarding intangible cultural heritage, the whole province has 3 representative intangible cultural heritages of humanity and 13 national intangible cultural heritages.
Currently, the Khanh Hoa Provincial Monuments Conservation Center is preparing a master plan for the special national relic of Ponagar Tower to submit to competent authorities for approval.
Khanh Hoa province has also submitted to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism a proposal to build a dossier for intangible cultural heritage "Practice the worship of Mother Thien Y A Na in Khanh Hoa province" to submit to UNESCO for registration in the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
For Ponagar Tower in particular, it is not only a relic of special value in spiritual and cultural life, but also preserves many valuable artifacts such as royal decree, stele, and Ponagar Goddess statue.
Determining the special value of Ponagar Tower, the Center has completed phase 1 of a survey and experiment on the preservation of brick and stone materials at Ponagar Tower.
In phase 2, the unit will continue to experiment on a small scale at the Southeast Tower and the Shiva dance relief at the Northeast Tower.
The experiment on preserving brick and stone materials at Ponagar Tower focuses on assessing the current status of these materials. Thereby, finding effective conservation methods to prevent deterioration and damage over time.
Khanh Hoa promotes heritage conservation associated with sustainable tourism development, aiming to become an international-class tourism center. Currently, Khanh Hoa has converted tourism digital from VR360 application in relic conservation to AI in resort management. These steps contribute to building a smart tourism urban area, associated with the development of a green economy.
Author's words: With the aspiration to become an international-class tourism center, Khanh Hoa is striving to preserve cultural heritage, while promoting sustainable tourism development in the digital age.
From the digitalization of relics, the application of VR360 virtual reality technology to the application of artificial intelligence in the management and operation of resorts, the strong transformations of the tourism industry not only spread the value of heritage but also opened a new direction: building a smart tourism urban area, developing a green economy, linking conservation and modernization.
