Arts, Cultural Heritage & Tourism Workshop

Why Cultural & Heritage Tourism?
The National Trust’s definition of cultural heritage tourism is “traveling to experience the places and activities that authentically represent the stories and people of the past and present. It includes historic, cultural and natural resources.”

Linking tourism with the arts & cultural heritage can do more for local economies than promoting them separately. When arts, & cultural heritage tourism development is done right, it helps to protect natural and cultural treasures and improves the quality of life for residents and visitors alike.
