Be.CULTOUR | Beyond CULtural TOURism: heritage innovation networks as drivers of Europeanisation towards a human-centred and circular tourism economy

Overall objective

The overarching goal of this project is to develop and test human-centred and circular economy approaches for sustainable cultural tourism in deprived remote, peripheral or deindustrialized areas and cultural landscapes, as well as touristic high demand over-exploited areas, through collaborative innovation and human-centred product-service-policies design methodologies, to enhance sustainable cultural tourism in European regions and cities for local communities’ empowerment, wellbeing enhancement, socio-economic development and cooperation at cross-border, regional and local level.
