    • Cultural tourism and community in rural Europe

      Abstract:
      Cultural tourism is being actively developed as an economic, cultural and social stimulus for communities in rural Europe, stimulated by the European Union's long-term vision for rural areas. Cultural tourism is seen as a potential support for both tangible and intangible heritage, but this faces a number of challenges, including lack of human resources and inadequate governance structures. Drawing on research from the Crocus Project (Cultural Creative Tourism in Rural and Remote Areas) this presentation assesses the current state of research on rural cultural tourism and the prospects of more sustainable pathways to the future.
