The pilgrim "on line"
Google is finalizing a virtual tour of the French route and a Youtube channel for Xacobeo
Xacobeo 2010 is very close, as well as the possibility of the Camino de Santiago from your couch. The management team of this Jubilee Year is determined to be "the most technological in History". To do so, they have signed an agreement with Google that the initiative of the most spectacular is the possibility of conducting a virtual tour of the French route with fully detailed realty.
Thousands of photographs taken over three months are "cooked" in the back of the factory for at least two months, making thousands of users in virtual pilgrims physically attach them after this ancient route.
Amaia Mauleon-Vigo for the XXI century pilgrim Internet holds no secrets, knows and uses the tools of the network to plan your trip and even to walk the walk without blisters, a single click and withoutout any significant corner left unvisited.
2010 will mark the second Holy Year of the century and Jacobean organizers are determined to make it "the most technological of all" to attract more visitors. They have signed an agreement with Google for the most spectacular of which is a virtual tour of the French Way performed with Street View technology, which allows Internet users to go in a real way with a 360-degree look at monuments, towns and roads of this route.
The Google team has been taking pictures of the Camino in the summer months in some special vehicles and now the images are being processed.
"This is the biggest campaign of Google in a single run done so far," says Ignacio Santos, manager of Xacobeo. Moreover, after the French Way, a study to develop the process in the other routes. "The idea is for people around the world to experience the pilgrimage from their homes and finally decide to go," he adds.
But the possibility of "kicking" the Way from the couch is not the only novelty of this technological Xacobeo. The agreement also involves the creation of a specific Youtube channel which will be activated next Tuesday. It will contain the Way videos focused on their history, gastronomy, nature and culture, "but mostly we wanted to give prominence to the testimony of pilgrims," says Santos. A tired film crew has shared with hikers for two months to gather their experiences on video. "We hope that by the end of the year that there are 26 million visits to the youtube channel," said the manager.
Other sections are more advertising placement targeting, which is the inclusion of links to Xacobeo websites in complying with profiles of the pilgrims.
"This campaign is aimed at the issue of spirituality, the older pilgrim, 50 to 60 years," said Santos. Web surfers sponsored links on pages from Spain, France, Germany, Italy and the UK. Also in Websites related to the four aspects of the Path-spirituality, culture, gastronomy and nature-there will be links which guide the pilgrims to the hypothetical Xacobeo page.
Google Adwords, assist in this task by placing the first line Xacobeo thematic research. Adding the different tools, the manager calculates Xacobeo get "over one and half million visitors to the web and 160 million ad views" before year end
