Cultural Tourism Workshop

Hybrid event, 9th November 2022, h. 16 EET

organized by Promoter s.r.l, Chair: Antonella Fresa

The event was organized as an integral part of the 2022 edition of the international conference EUROMED in Limassol (Cyprus), to discuss about the role of community engagement and citizen participation in enhancing and promoting sustainable tourism in peripheral areas that are not often part of the mass tourism itineraries. INCULTUM research, experiments and findings will be presented to show the efforts oriented to foster positive impacts of cultural tourism, and to demonstrate the high potential of the marginal and peripheral places, cultural heritage and resources when managed by local communities and stakeholders. The event was realized with participation of other EU-funded projects IMPACTOUR and TExTOUR, to enrich the discussion, share best practices and explore synergies.

This workshop was addressed to cultural managers, cultural heritage institutions, local communities with a stake on tourism potential of their areas, policy makers and researchers on sustainable tourism and local promotion.
