INTERREG Europe project Local Flavours hosted professor Greg Richards!

After the invitation of our Advisory Partner (UNIBO Department of Cultural Heritage DBC), the announced expert on cultural tourism and creative industry, gave an online lecture to the Local Flavours project participants on 18th May, 2021. Richards reviewed the changes in the history of cultural tourism and paid special attention to the contemporary threats and opportunities. Among others, the questions of authenticity and the contemporary role of cities were discussed. The lecture followed by a lively discussion through which not just the partners introduced their projects but many other case studies and good practices were mentioned as well. The event was thought-provoking and unquestionably very timely during the preparation period of action plans.
