Gujarat is one of the most diverse States in India. Its history stretches over a long years from the age old Harappan Civilization to the Mughal period. Gujarat’s endless journey from Roots to Wings is timeless with historical and cultural traditions glorifying the State.

The Land of the Legends
Gujarat, the Land of the Legends, is the birthplace of many Freedom fighters like the legendary Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and many others who fought the freedom struggle, infusing the qualities of tolerance, brotherhood, non-violence and patriotism into Indians.

The cultural mix enhanced with over 4500 years of history has endowed Gujarat with some of the greatest historical and archaeological monuments. While Lothal offers an unparalleled insight into the Harappan civilization, Ahmedabad has specimens of Indo-Sarcenic architecture, Palitana has a profusion of temples in the Jain style, Junagadh displays Buddhist caves and Rajput architecture appears all over different parts of Gujarat.

The new ICT environment will serve both as a repository of intelligent cultural heritage content and a software architecture capable of offering customised e-services for retrieving and accessing complex multimedia information. The resulting ISAAC platform will integrate and harmonise currently diverse and dispersed knowledge on cultural tourism and local heritage to meet the needs of different users, namely:
- tourists, willing to increase their knowledge and experience on European destinations before, during or after a visit;
- citizens in their dual role of potential tourists and active part in the composition and promotion of the tourism offer in their community;
- decision makers involved in the management of the tourist offer and the city as an attractive host community;
- private/public stakeholders (attraction managers, travel agents, hoteliers, retailers, publishers, cities’ tourism offices and so forth) involved in different activities linked with the cultural tourism market and destination promotion.

As a result, a multi-stakeholder community for experiencing and managing European cultural heritage in urban tourist destinations will evolve.

An example of story describing how citizens and tourists experienced ISAAC prototype in Amsterdam:

Jack has visited Amsterdam in several occasions and thinks back to the time he has spent wandering along the canals with his friend. He wants to know a bit more about the architecture of Amsterdams golden age and about the people who lived there then. He searches for information on Amsterdams architecture and finds ISAACs Amsterdam e-service in the international city website. He explores the virtual tour and learns more about the history of Amsterdam. He is surprised that he can look right round the squares and canals where he has strolled not so long before. He can even take a panoramic view of the buildings, sometimes even from inside. [...] From the citys website he finds out that he needs to take a ferry from the central station to get to his proposed destination. He also check ISAAC’s virtual tours and has a look around in the harbour area. He find a lot of information about the architects responsible for the developments he is planning to visit. He is charmed by a story from a manager of a company in the creative industry, about the reasons why they have chosen to settle at that location.

In 2004 we introduced our first tour, the “Eco-Culture Experience”. This spring, the package was chosen by the editors of National Geographic Traveller as the “Tour of a Lifetime” for 2008, based on a criteria of authenticity, seasoned expertise, sustainability, unprecedented access, and local connections.

We base our travel principles on the newly emerging geotourism concepts. Geotourism is defined by National Geographic as tourism that sustains or enhances the geographical character of a place—its environment, culture, aesthetics, heritage, and the well-being of its residents. Geotourism incorporates the concept of sustainable tourism—that destinations should remain unspoiled for future generations—while allowing for enhancement that protects the character of the locale. We have integrated these ideas and concepts into our overall approach.
