IMproving Sustainable Development Policies and PrActices to assess, diversify and foster Cultural TOURism in European regions and areas

Project description

Cultural tourism as a factor of Europeanisation

Cultural tourism (CT) is considered a factor of economic growth and a bridge between different cultures in the development of European regions. However, the impacts of the different types of CT are not yet estimated. Another question remains about the adequate cross-border strategies used to reach sustainable development. The EU-funded IMPACTOUR project will connect CT stakeholders and researchers envisaging new approaches and methods that will support European CT, reinforce a feeling of belonging, value minority cultures and promote Europeanisation. The project will elaborate on an advanced and adaptable methodology to estimate the impact of CT on EU regional economic growth. It will combine data analytics algorithms with machine learning and AI approaches to improve policies and actions on CT.
