Problem Statement
• The impact of transmedia storytelling in tourism remains to be studied. Understanding the benefits and constrains that these techniques bring to the tourism industry is key.
• Location Based Transmedia Storytelling – the art of telling stories based on a specific location through multiple-media platforms with audience participation, where each storyline makes a valuable and distinctive contribution to the story.
