    • About the Project: DIVERTIMENTO diversifies tourism offers in peripheral destinations with heritage-based products and services, addressing stakeholder alliances and improving professional skills to internationalize locally operating micro-enterprises, achieve excellence and facilitate their uptake by the global market. The Project combats stakeholder fragmentation and detects the unexploited cultural potential in peripheral destinations by uniting forces and by replacing outdated skills and mind-sets with a new, shared vision for development. Seamlessly connected with tourism consumption points at place level, the product offers authentic and multicultural experiences along with needed tourism services, accessible in real time, such as accommodation, facilities, transport, catering, souvenirs and traditional products, open, indoor and artistic activities. The product builds an unprecedented opportunity to terminate the vicious circle of generating and distributing low quality tourism commodities exchangeable by price. Fully in accordance with the EU2020 GRAND SOCIETAL CHALLENGES and the NEW NARRATIVE FOR EUROPE, 2014, 7 peripheral destinations in Greece, Italy, Spain, Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey capitalize on best practices from the international experience to create and launch a locally produced and globally distributed high quality experienced based product in heritage tourism. The final product is a Trilogy (Cultural Route, iBook, Heritage Games) inspired by the COE Principles for Cultural Routes, exploiting both the technology intense experience and the onsite experience in the territory. It enters the global distribution channel ITB Berlin in 2017 addressing primarily the connected consumer market, the senior and youth market. The Project Legacy with 102 tools will be inherited to the Statutory Association of Tourism Related Enterprises EUROTHENTICA, with seat in Rome, Italy, so as to maintain results and replicate project achievements.

    • About the Project: The need to produce high-added value tourism products and establish novel tourism policies to sustain later on locally produced heritage tourism, is strictly interwoven with the need to let collaborative networks and strategic partnerships emerge at cross border level. ALECTOR will involve actors from various administrative and social levels, so as to strengthen their capacity to effectively manage heritage for tourism. These collaborative networks will deliver three main outcomes: a) (re) activation of human capital by intense know-how transfer of innovative practices -directly deriving from research conducted, b) local authority empowerment by diffusing policies regarding heritage management and tourism planning and c) the development of local and regional strategic partnerships. By delivering local and regional strategic partnerships, ALECTOR encourages various action groups to co-operate, bring together key organizations, stakeholders and actors, from the three spheres of state, market and civil society, to identify further needs and priorities. ALECTOR proposes a cognitive and educational framework for using of a place’s assets, which would guide final beneficiaries (regions, communities, SMEs) to identify, signify, valorize and manage their natural and cultural resources, in order to use heritage potential as a vehicle for tourism. Most up to dated innovative know-how will result in visitor-centric communication policies, and policies about the management of leisure time, an issue directly related to the competitiveness of places’ and regions’ in the sector of tourism. These policies will enable final beneficiaries to develop tailor-made heritage strategies and defend their cultural assets against a globalizing world. By delivering a series of pilot projects to serve regions and localities as best practices ALECTOR helps diffuse project results at a cross border-wide level giving birth to further economic and social development. The overall objective of the project, is to improve the effectiveness of regional cultural heritage policies, improving in this way to the ability of partners and regions to develop high added value heritage tourism products and services.

    • About the Project: SAGITTARIUS is dedicated to the development and promotion of heritage entrepreneurships in the area of South East Europe. SAGITTARIUS is a Transnational Territorial Cooperation Project. It includes also countries with EU candidate status (IPA), and countries within the territorial zone of the European Neighborhood and partnership Instrument (ENPI). The common vision is to unite social forces and unlock the values of cultural heritage advancing cultural activity in everyday life across the SEE. Cultural consumption is a knowledge based activity: cultural products and services are viable, only if they possess widely recognized values. SAGITTARIUS advances cultural consumption by communicating cultural values: from natural monuments and ecosystems to sites and collections, from the arts to traditions and handicrafts. Thus values of tangible-intangible, movable-immovable and spiritual heritage assets become catalysts for regeneration and development by being revealed and communicated. Given the diversity and complexity of heritage, the use of cultural values for development is feasible, only if multilateral interactions are understood and reflected in policy and delivery. Required is a multivalent and flexible nexus at local-global level to mitigate the protection-use conflict reconciling national and international strategies. SAGITTARIUS provides the Cooperation Area with an activity mix to fully realize the socioeconomic potential of culture: put into practice is an integrative management system to classify and signify natural, man made and spiritual heritage assets and communicate their values to different audiences across the SEE. To promote entrepreneurial culture in the heritage sector, SAGITTARIUS encourages the formation of heritage entrepreneurs: a participatory knowledge platform transfers advanced tools among multilevel actors to protect and use heritage assets by identifying their environmental, social, historic, aesthetic, spiritual and special values; domain specific training certifies individuals with increased capacities certifying professional skills. Implemented pilot actions on a social inclusion basis, provide for cultural experience diversity connecting thus local cultural production to international markets. By activating public-private-third sector alliances, heritage entrepreneurship is established at transnational level, exemplifying, how heritage is valued, protected, communicated and used with ecologic, economic and social profit.
