Descrizione del progetto
Un quadro per un turismo culturale sostenibile a misura d’uomo
Il turismo culturale «fast-food» e orientato al consumo può dimostrarsi impegnativo dal punto di vista degli impatti ambientali negativi e degli effetti sociali e culturali sulle comunità e sugli ecosistemi locali. Lontano da questo approccio, il progetto Be.CULTOUR finanziato dall’UE, si concentrerà sul «luogo» come genius loci , lo spirito antico del sito, e sulle «persone» come co-creatori della sua unicità, cultura, arte, tradizione, folclore, produttività e spiritualità. Il progetto si propone di sviluppare strategie specifiche per promuovere una comprensione del turismo culturale che mette al centro gli esseri umani e i modelli di economia circolare, prestando attenzione alla natura, alle comunità e alla diversità culturale.
Obiettivo
Cultural tourism entails opportunities but also risks. If not managed properly, cultural tourism can easily turn into a “value extractive” industry, generating negative environmental, social and cultural impacts on local communities and ecosystems. This project will develop specific strategies to promote an understanding of cultural tourism, which moves away from a “stop-and-go” consumer-oriented approach towards one that puts humans and circular economy models at its centre, paying attention to nature, communities and cultural diversity. “Place”, intended as the genius loci, the ancient spirit of the site and “people” as co-creators of its uniqueness, culture, art, tradition, folklore, productivity, spirituality, are the focus of Be.CULTOUR.
Wide and diversified partnerships of stakeholders from 18 EU and non-EU regions of Northern-Central and Southern Europe, the Balkans, the Eastern neighbourhood and the Mediterranean, will be the driving force of the project. A community of 300 innovators (which includes regional authorities and municipalities, clusters and associations, museums and tourist boards, entrepreneurs, chambers of commerce, citizens, researchers, practitioners as well as project partners) in 6 pilot regions will co-create innovative place-based solutions for human-centred and circular cultural tourism.
Collaborative “Heritage innovation networks” will be established in 6 European deprived remote, peripheral and deindustrialised areas and cultural landscapes identified as “pilot heritage sites”: committed to the project’s objectives, they have defined clear cultural tourism related challenges requiring innovation, which will serve as the basis for the collaboration with 12 additional “mirror ecosystems”.
