The celebrations in festivals integrated in tourism have become a trend. This practice has been one of the most significant components of the 'experience economy' in today's world. Most of such activities regard historic elements as a main feature of events, and for customers something historical and nostalgic in culture is the thrust of that experience. This paper focuses on the centennial commemoration of Beitou Park as a case study. Applying methods such as time-geography, social network analysis, field verification, and participant observation, this research explores the overall customer experience and participation in co-creating service design through cloud technology. The findings are the following: 1. cloud technology can timely connect data about customers' emotional reactions in relevant events and utilize them to enrich the service design and content for the festival; 2. the information gathered during the festival about the actual service has tremendous potential: how customers feel in their early phase of involvement can be utilized to shape or adjust the other parts of activities they continue to participate, the virtualization of cloud technology therefore greatly sustaining the positive effects of the service experience; 3. the cloud technology helps shape the user experience, including both users' hands-on experience and their constant interaction with people through internet. These sharing and co-creating effects not only enhance the event's publicity but also accumulate momentum to sustain customers' willingness to continue to participate in related activities. Finally, 'Customer Journey Map' and 'Service Blueprint' are presented. |
