Abstract: 
Cultural tourism is a form of tourism that focuses on experiencing the tangible and intangible heritage of a particular area. It encompasses various creative aspects, including literature, which serves as a means of expressing cultural values, attitudes, and perceptions. By understanding the literature of a place and its people, regions can further develop and promote sustainability. This article explores the potential of utilizing touristic texts as a tool, aided by New Technologies, to create tourist trails that contribute to the sustainability of Crete.
