Following an awareness-raising webinar in April, UNESCO is launching bilateral consultations with SmartCulTour’s Living Labs with the aim of identifying tailored capacity-building opportunities for each of them. SmartCulTour – Smart Cultural Tourism as a Driver of Sustainable Development of European Regions – is an EU Horizon2020 project coordinated by the KU Leuven university to support regional development in European regions, including those located in rural peripheries and the urban fringe, through sustainable cultural tourism. Partners of the project include UNESCO, several universities across Europe and research centres in the field of cultural tourism.
