Digital Twin for a Tourism Destination (SintraTwin)

Title: Digital Twin for a Tourism Destination (SintraTwin)
Description: What if you could anticipate traffic jams, simulate decisions, and manage a heritage destination in near real time? SintraTwin is a Digital Twin under development for Sintra—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—that aims to integrate car traffic data, crowd sensing, climate, tourist load capacity, and territory into a living digital model. Through 3D visualizations and predictive simulations, SintraTwin will allow for the monitoring, prediction, and testing of hypothetical and predicted scenarios, supporting more informed, sustainable decisions focused on the visitor experience and residents' quality of life.

Through an app designed primarily for tourists, the digital twin will also be a digital nudging tool. Instead of purely restrictive measures, SintraTwin will offer incentives using suggestions and gamification that disperse tourists to less crowded areas, improving resource optimization and the visitor experience. This solution is designed to be bidirectional and scalable to other historical destinations.
