The main goal of the C.I.C.E.RO project is to provide all citizens with a technologically advanced means to discover values, historical heritage and itineraries of the European history. The project aims at developing, prototyping and validating with end-users a flexible, complete and integrated system allowing a visitor to a foreign City as well as resident citizens to :
plan a visit while being in the city, or before arrival, either by choosing among a set of predefined ineraries (including works of art, social and cultural events) or by building customised itineraries, action performed by “local access” from a terminal located in the City or by remote access” from a terminal located elsewhere
be guided and assisted in the City through friendly information retrieving tools either at Information Points (IPs) by means of PC workstations connected via the Internet to the central multimedia database at the main Service Centre; or at Visitors Centres (VCs),located all over the City, through a small “visit-guidance device”, CICERO, which could be also rented at tourist offices, hotels, travel agencies and in any IPs.
Multimedia information system for tourism based on Internet which will sell holidays in Southern Europe to tourists in Northern Europe. A group of travel agencies will test the system for a season before extending participation to a wider group of orators. The system will provide access to catalogues, price lists, promotions, maps, and images and will record bookings.
