• The tourism sector is one of the sectors that have been most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, due to the reduction in its income by more than half in 2020 compared to the previous year, according to the UNWTO. In Colombia, the panorama does not differ, with fall in sales close to 70% compared to 2019 in the hotel sector and travel agencies. Even so, it is one of the sectors to which many regions point for post-pandemic economic recovery. So, in the context of the current Covid-19 contingency, it is necessary to redefine the tourist experience. Various international organizations and/or authors propose innovation and digital transformation as key strategies for the tourism sector’s resilience. Policies for economic reactivation at the national level bet on the promotion of tourism, strengthening itself through CTI activities and promoting the integration of the private sector and academia. This article shows the development of an application based on augmented reality that is the first software application that promotes cultural tourism in the department of Cesar. For the development of this application, agile development methodologies were used that allow direct interaction with the client, which allowed a significant impact on economic development in the department of Cesar.
