Expanding National Heritage Areas digital presence and community impact

Preserving the Past. Inspiring the Future. Engaging Communities in Real Time.

Congress-designated National Heritage Areas are powerful stewards of America’s cultural and natural legacy. Yet showcasing these diverse stories and landscapes to a modern audience requires more than static interpretation. ITI Digital equips NHAs with dynamic digital tools to highlight places, events, and itineraries—empowering local pride, visitor discovery, and long-term engagement.

ITI Digital Helps NHAs Overcome Common Digital Communication Gaps

ITI Digital empowers National Heritage Areas (NHAs) to expand their digital footprint, with dynamic and interactive narratives that resonate, inspire visitation, and drive sustainable community growth.

Static Presentation Limits Engagement

Many NHAs rely on outdated or static content to tell their story, missing the opportunity to actively guide exploration. Without dynamic, real-time updates, visitors lack a clear understanding of what to experience and when to visit, diminishing the site’s cultural and economic impact.

Disconnected Experiences Lose Visitors

Websites that isolate key visitor content (e.g., things to do, events, and directions) into siloed or hard-to-navigate pages frustrate users. ITI Digital connects the dots between your stories, landscapes, and events, guiding visitors through layered experiences with personalized tools.

Missed Opportunities for Community Engagement

Without prominently featuring local events and regional itineraries, NHAs fail to connect with their surrounding communities and partner organizations. Our platform makes it easy to spotlight community partners, share real-time calendars, and foster participation across generations.

Lack of Mobile Optimization

Heritage travelers are increasingly mobile-first. A clunky, desktop-only experience alienates modern explorers. ITI Digital ensures all experiences—from discovering a historic trail to planning a family weekend—are seamless on every device.

Real-Time Digital Power Captivate Visitors, Simplify Management, and Amplify Your Organization's Impact

ITI Digital delivers dynamic website content from trusted sources like Google, enhancing visitor engagement specifically for National Heritage Areas. Our digital experience platform (DXP) provides real-time, interactive tools for showcasing significant places, vibrant community events, and compelling itineraries. This approach deepens audience connection, boosts local pride, and supports effortless heritage preservation.

The platform seamlessly integrates storytelling, mobile optimization, and AI-driven interactions. NHAs maintain full editorial control, while automation reduces manual tasks and enriches visitor experiences. The result is a streamlined, impactful digital presence, empowering your heritage area to resonate effectively with modern audiences.

Places: Honor Local Assets with Purpose

From scenic trails and historic buildings to cultural landmarks and locally owned shops, NHAs can showcase curated collections of meaningful places. ITI Digital’s intuitive platform enables comprehensive storytelling, highlighting historical context, architectural details, cultural significance, and visitor recommendations.

Itineraries: Guide Visitors Through Themed Experiences

Craft tailored journeys around compelling themes such as “African American Heritage,” “Industrial Innovation,” or “Revolutionary History.” ITI Digital’s interactive itinerary tool allows NHAs to develop detailed tours—accessible by car, foot, or bike—that engage visitors deeply, extend visitation, promote comprehensive exploration, and enhance understanding and appreciation of the region's rich and diverse narratives.
