“Culture and Creativity: Women Powering Tourism Transformation”

  • The final conference of the Erasmus+ project – „Off the Beaten Track“. The project aim was tourism and CCI sector women entrepreneurs’ soft skills development.
  • The main focus of the conference will revolve around sustainable cultural tourism, the essential skills required to become an inspiring leader, and the art of building networks.
  • European Culture Capital year visibly increases the number of tourists coming to and participating in the program events. In addition, other attractions will visited, and there will be a significant increase in the use of tourism services (accommodation, catering, transport). In other words, the whole economy benefits significantly. But how can this level be sustained once the year of the Capital of Culture is over?
