It also applies to tourist attractions, especially to cultural establishments.

Dies gilt auch für touristische Attraktionen – insbesondere für kulturelle Einrichtungen. Ob Museum, Theater oder Opernhaus: Zahlreiche Institutionen setzen jetzt auf digitale Inhalte, überbrücken die Zeit ihrer Schließung und versüßen alldenjenigen die Zeit, die gerade zu Millionen in ihren eigenen vier Wänden verweilen müssen, ohne die Destinationen der Welt samt ihren Sehenswürdigkeiten besuchen zu können.
