Creating interactive websites is transforming how tourists engage with and learn about historical and cultural locations, and is becoming a more significant aspect of Edu tourism. However, most websites on heritage sites only have basic features, whereas the maps only show the locations of the attractions. This study focuses on developing an interactive chat box that incorporates illustrated narratives to promote the cultural heritage of Parañaque, for Edu tourism. Similarly, an interactive website has many opportunities to bridge the gap between tourism, education, and heritage, considering the increasing digitization of information and the shifting inclinations of technologically aware travelers. The study examines how these elements work together to improve visitors knowledge and awareness of Parañaques heritage values. Through a quantitative data collection approach involving the content design process, website design, and user experience surveys on 98 respondents, the study evaluated the effectiveness of the interactive website on visitors learning experiences and appreciation of heritage. Findings highlight the satisfaction and increased awareness of the heritage values of Parañaque from the combined approach in fostering deeper connections, self-guided learning, and immersive exploration. The studys contribution lies in its insights into the potential of an integrated interactive website to reshape Edu tourism, creating dynamic digital platforms that enhance the synergy between modern technology, cultural heritage, and experiential learning.
