Cultural Heritage & Tourism Working Group
Representatives of Brussels-based offices leading the work of the Cultural Heritage & Tourism Working Group.
Cultural Heritage & Tourism
The Cultural Heritage and Tourism Working Group has two main lines of action: Sustainable Tourism and Cultural Heritage as well as the policies and action that link the two areas. In this context the WG focuses on investigating R&I-related measures to mitigate the environmental and social impact of touristic flows and encourage the transition towards sustainable tourism and cultural policies and practices. To this end, the WG supports ERRIN members in the uptake of digitalisation and the development of skills/competences in the Cultural Heritage and Tourism sectors, facilitating exchanges of good practices and development of new projects.
Finally, the Working Group aims at providing early information to members on cultural heritage and tourism policy future strands, financial tools, inter-regional joint activities, EU calls, and disseminating open opportunities and results of key ongoing projects (e.g.CHARTER, Be.Cultour).
