Folkvine.org as a model of virtual tourism
by Craig Saper
International Journal of Digital Culture and Electronic Tourism (IJDCET), Vol. 1, No. 2/3, 2008

Abstract: The Folkvine.org website demonstrates design approaches with the artists' style as a guide. Tourism of the future may (by ecological necessity) require less actual travel and more virtual visits, and the website suggests a model for how to create virtual visits. The website demonstrates precisely how e-media forms and approaches change the content presented. It changes the types of content available by including visual, aural, and interactive materials. It also changes the essence of the materials; it makes the reading experience more visceral by presenting a different kind of information (mood, atmosphere, sensibility, etc.) that print-based non-fiction scholarship has had difficulty presenting.
