Įgyvendinant projektą bus naudojamos modernios technologijos, padedančios sukurti unikalias patirtis, taip pritraukiant didesnius turistų srautus bei paskatinant juos ilgesniam laikui apsistoti projekto įgyvendinimo teritorijoje. Šio projekto veiklos apims tokias 20 skirtingų vietovių, tokių, kaip Koknesės pilies griuvėsiai ir parkas, Garsenės dvaras, Čerkesos-Besparnio dvaras ir jo teritorija, Rokiškio dvaro rūmų ansamblis ir kiti objektai Bauskės, Akmenės ir Jelgavos rajonuose.

Dalyvavimas projekte padės išplėsti turizmo sektoriaus darbuotojų skaitmenines kompetencijas dalyvaujant mokymuose, kūrybinėse dirbtuvėse ir pažintiniuose vizituose. Projektas suteiks galimybę pamatyti prarastus objektus, papildytos realybės (PR), virtualios realybės (VR), 3D režimu, naudojant QR kodus, išvysti skaitmeninį „vaiduoklį“, išgirsti muzikos instrumento vizualizacijos skleidžiamą melodiją, o kartu ir vystys bei populiarins bendrą maršrutą.
