Deliverables
Through an extensive interdisciplinary meta literature review, various conceptualizations, frameworks and definitions of cultural heritage tourism and cultural tourism destinations will be studied. A summarizing report will outline the final theoretical framework based on these findings and adapted to geographic scales (urban, rural, regional).
Detailed documentation will be provided on the SmartCulTour Platform technical specifications and practical use guidelines in order to allow for dissemination on the broadest possible level
The detailed publicly available report will focus on cultural tourism interventions that were identified via expert opinion and desk research The report will categorize types of cultural tourism interventions which are interpreted in the widest sense including policies strategies actions collaborations and others with specific focus on impacts and contextual success conditions This report can also be used as a white paper for policymakers
The report will identify relationships between cultural tourism development and destination sustainability andor resilience indicators taking into account the respective development stage of the destinations through an application of the tourismarea life cycle model via a rigorous application of advanced quantitative methods This will result in a comprehensive SustainabilityResilienceTALC framework of indicators
Based on the analysis presented in the two publicly accessible reports an outreach to the academic community will be ensured through the open access publication of three academic journal articles on the topics of sustainable cultural tourism indicators the link between cultural tourism development sustainability and resilience and the integration of cultural tourism sustainabilityresilience and the tourism area life cycle
The theoretical foundations of the work package relating to conceptual modeling defining cultural heritage and its different context and the future trends identified in supply and demand will lead to two academic journal articles published as open access resources
At least one academic paper regarding the stateoftheart of cultural tourism interventions
Set of Power Point Slides with main findings which will be made available for policymakers and other stakeholders to provide information on successful sustainable tourism initiatives and their context in a variety of destinations
A report will be provided on the identification of relevant future trends in both supply and demand in cultural heritage destinations culminating in a typology of the cultural tourism of tomorrow
At periodic intervals the lead partner of the consortium will provide a policy brief to summarize particular issues and identify policy options and recommendations aimed at government policymakers The first policy report will focus on cultural tourism conceptualization and state of the artrole models
Based on desk research the publicly available report will identify the most relevant indicators for measuring and understanding earlier defined theoretical concepts specifically cultural tourism cultural tourism assets and products impacts cultural tourism destinations sustainability and resilience
Following on the two work packages most directly involved with data collection generation and analysis ie WP4 and WP5 the underlying data behind the decisionsupport system as well as any additional data used for scientific publication ie the metadata will be maximally made available to the larger public Further primary data collection after month 20 will furthermore feed back into the open data platform that is set up here
Based on the earlier prototype and following a rigorous testing phase the SmartCulTour platform will be made publicly available with a rich dataset of cultural tourism indicators
