TExTOUR

Project code: GA: 101004687

Programme: Horizon 2020

Call: TRANSFORMATIONS-04-2019-2020

TExTOUR was conceived to elaborate innovative and sustainable cultural tourism strategies to reinforce the socio-economic territorial development of less-known areas in Europe and beyond. The project will analyse and demonstrate new strategies for improving the socio-economic development of areas that are less known but which have much cultural value. The project will co-design, validate and upscale cultural tourism policies and sustainable strategies. To do this, it will work with eight cultural tourism labs located in different EU and non-EU areas and will involve various societal players and stakeholders with a relevant role in the cultural tourism sector. The selected pilots have diverse and complementary characteristics, which will enable the project’s experts to develop a wide range of scenarios for continental and coastal areas, rural and urban, deprived remote or peripheral areas facing multiple social, economic and environmental challenges.
