Villes du patrimoine et tourisme durable
This project, which is being carried out in cooperation with the universities of Venice and Rotterdam, aims initially to create a network of European and Mediterranean cities which are applying measures involving an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to enhancing the cultural heritage.
The creation of a databank, a website and a newsletter linking members of the network will facilitate an exchange of information and practical experience conducive to the introduction of concrete measures for the sustainable and integrated management of tourism.
