Project description
A new innovate take on cultural tourism
Europe is a key cultural tourism destination thanks to a remarkable cultural heritage that includes museums, theatres, archaeological sites, historical cities and industrial sites as well as music and gastronomy. The EU-funded SPOT project aims to develop a new approach to understanding and addressing cultural tourism and to promote development of disadvantaged areas. Specifically, it will identify layers of data and capitalise on existing practice. It will explore emerging forms of cultural tourism, identifying opportunities and developing strategies allowing local people to gain benefit from their precious cultural assets. SPOT will engage academics and stakeholders for development of policy proposals and generalise lessons learnt through an Innovation Tool to assist policymakers and practitioners.
