The research focuses on young Generation Z adults, applying a combination of innovative qualitative methods, including semi-structured interviews, eye-tracking studies and design thinking approaches. The project deliverables include a model solution for inclusive visual communication, which contributes to increasing the accessibility and user-friendliness of cultural institutions for selected groups of visitors.

The topic is considered in a broader context – not only as a question of physical barriers, but also of cognitive, linguistic and social barriers that can affect the visitor experience. The text presents the concept of a museum as a ‘third place’ – a space for dialogue, sharing and social inclusion – and shows how the principles of inclusive design and participation can contribute to greater openness in cultural institutions. Based on the Museum Without Barriers project pursued by the Faculty of Multimedia Communications at TBU in Zlín and the Gočár Gallery, the text summarises the main research findings, international examples of good practice and specific recommendations for museum and gallery operations. It further emphasises that rather than being a marginal issue, accessibility is a measure of quality of any cultural institution. Inclusion and universal design are a way to create an environment that is understandable, safe and inspiring for all visitors, regardless of their abilities or learning style.

Based on qualitative research conducted among seniors and people with sensory disabilities, it highlights the most common barriers in the online environment, ranging from missing alternative texts to illegible contrasts and unclear information about admission fees. The text provides specific recommendations on how these barriers can be removed and how accessibility needs to be understood not only as a technical necessity, but rather as part of the institution’s value communication. Accessible communication is not seen only as a tool for people with disabilities, but as a principle that facilitates orientation and improves user experience for all visitors.

Smart tourism and slow tourism combined with pilgrimage is one of the attractive options that respond to the demands of today’s customers. One smart pilgrimage tourism approach is creating a mobile application developed within the project that emphasises a personalised approach. The research findings based on content analysis pointed to five key themes that form the core of the mobile application’s appeal to pilgrimage tourists. There are: (1) pilgrimage sites, (2) natural heritage sites, (3) ethnographic and cultural attractions, (4) experiential spots, and (5) narratives. The platform developed as part of the rurAllure project will provide pilgrims with unique and interactive opportunities to explore the pilgrimage routes in a new and enriching way and encourage a smart, sustainable, slow, and customer-oriented approach.
