Paul Bulencea first started to incorporate elements related to experience design and gamification within events he co-organised with WISIT (Worldwide Innovative Students in Tourism), a student association that he founded. He later explored the topic in his master thesis where he created a museum experience experiment that significantly increased the visitors' immersion, memory and satisfaction of their experience. He has presented papers about gamification in tourism at international conferences such as the World Travel Market in London and the Enter Conference in Dublin. He also delivers lectures at various universities worldwide and explores entrepreneurship with Sideview, a start-up that he co-founded.

Klappentext
"Paul Bulencea and Roman Egger have brought together two of my favorite subjects into one engaging, informative, and well-researched book. Everyone in tourism - districts, attractions, and support companies alike - should read Gamification in Tourism, but in fact so should everyone involved in designing memorable experiences (as the sub-title memorably puts it), for its Memorable Experience Design framework applies to all those who wish to succeed in today's Experience Economy." B. Joseph Pine II Co-author, The Experience Economy and Infinite Possibility: Creating Customer Value on the Digital Frontier "The book Gamification in Tourism is the first of its kind to bring together two current issues - Gamification and Experience Design. This innovative book will be very useful to both academics and practitioners. The book is well structured and also allows non-academics to grasp and apply the theoretical concepts easily through examples and cases that illustrate the different gamification approaches."
