Join the International Be.CULTOUR Conference
The Horizon 2020 Be.CULTOUR project is organising the International Conference 'Beyond Cultural Tourism: Beautiful, Circular, Human', on 5 - 7 June 2024 in Naples, Italy. The event will present a series of operational tools and approaches developed by project partners starting from the overall multidimensional evaluation framework based on criteria and indicators for circular and cultural tourism destinations, to heritage-led strategic Action Plans and place-branding strategies, innovative circular solutions and business models enhancing entrepreneurial capacity, suitable financial instruments, smart data management tools, and final policy recommendations at EU and regional level.

The overarching goal of Be.CULTOUR is to co-create and test sustainable human-centred innovations for circular cultural tourism through collaborative innovation networks/methodologies and improved investments strategies.
Targeting deprived, remote, peripheral or deindustrialised areas and cultural landscapes as well as over-exploited areas, local Heritage innovation networks will co-develop a long-term heritage-led development project in the areas involved enhancing inclusive economic growth, communities’ wellbeing and resilience, nature regeneration as well as effective cooperation at cross-border, regional and local level.
