The Creative Tourism convinces FITUR again As every year, the Creative Tourism Network® promoted its members’ destinations in Fitur Madrid (January 17th-21st).

In this occasion, journalists and tour operators demonstrated a growing interest for this new generation of cultural tourism.

Institutions as the UNWTO and his new Secretary General, Mr. Zurab Pololikashvili also renewed their bet for the creative tourism that will lead to coming actions within the 2018-European Year of Cultural Heritage.

The Ministers participating to the Iberoamerican Minister Summit (CIMET), also recognized the creative tourism as a new way to fit with the new demand of the travelers while creating a value chain for the territories in terms of communities’ empowerment, capacity building, heritage recovery and governance.

One of which we are very proud, is the partnership between the CreativeTourism Network® and The Phoenicians’ Route, a Cultural Route of Council of Europe – to create synergies and develop common actions which benefits to our respective members as well as to the cultural tourism sector, in terms of engineering, capacity building, best practices and promotion.

Partnership between The Phoenicians’ Route & the CreativeTourism Network® to satisfy the new cultural and creative traveler.

Within the framework of 2018 – European Year of Cultural Heritage, the international networks of The Phoenicians’ Route (Rotta Dei Fenici) and the Creative Tourism Network® accorded a partnership in order to develop joint actions to create synergies between two forms of cultural tourism, which are the archaeological and the creative one.

The Phoenicians’ Route is an international cultural route, certified by the Council of Europe in 2003, which addresses the theme of intercultural dialogue, following the model of the ancient civilizations, that have laid the foundations of the current Euro-Mediterranean civilization. Its actions contribute to the development of competences and projects between local communities and public and private operators spread over the three continents that surround the Mediterranean Sea. The Creative Tourism Network® is the official organization for the development and promotion of creative tourism, which grants Creative Friendly® recognition to destinations that opt for this new trend, characterized by the participation of tourists in creative activities characteristic of the local culture.

This collaboration will allow on one hand, to adapt the tourist offer of the destinations that are part of both networks, to the new demand of creative travelers; and on the other hand, to create value chains for the territories, through the organization of training seminars, the exchange of good practices and joint promotional campaigns.

The activities will be previously designed within the framework of training sessions in which not only representatives of the tourism sector will participate, but also local actors from crafts, art, creative industries and citizenship. In this sense, the creative tourism should be understood as a creative way of managing tourism and more precisely, focusing on the human resources, that is to say, the local communities through their traditions and skills.

This project has received a very enthusiastic reception from the World Tourism Organization – UNWTO, for the benefits it generates in favor of a mutual understanding of heritage and local cultures, within the framework of a quality and responsible tourism.
