Author
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.
