In responding to the pandemic’s transformative impacts, an increasing number of cultural heritage (CH) institutions have adapted digital changes as the first step of visitor economy recovery. Despite the remote access offered by digital platforms and attention from other disciplines, digital engagement remains overlooked in the field of hidden cultural heritage. How has it influenced travel attitudes, behaviours and well-being? How can digital storytelling sustain attractiveness and changes for visitor economy? What strategies can be adopted and shared to build a creative and resilient community?
