The Synopsis

Doktong 2.0: Bekwoh

Doktong is oriented to immaterial resources such as learning, developing experiences, and traditions at the same time integrating the Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0). Doktong.my is a participatory form of cultural tourism more appropriate to contemporary social and economic structures. This type of tourism makes use of the intangible resources of the destination (e.g. lifestyles, narratives, creativity, media) and enables the tourist to participate actively in leisure, cultural, and artistic activities that reflect the characteristics of the destination visited.
