CULTURWB : Strengthening Capacities for Tourism Changes

The Academy for Leisure & Events has always been one of the frontrunners when it comes to the development, design and implementation of cultural tourism and creative industry business models as well as lifelong learning programmes.
These programmes are attended by a variety of leisure and tourism professionals, including public authorities in leisure, culture and nature fields.
The CULTURWB project addresses the need for strengthening the development of the cultural tourism industry.
The experts from BUas together with the other project partners have utilised diverse research methodologies (marketing and branding, strategy business planning, digital tourism, sustainable development, strategy and action plan implementation, etc.) to develop and pilot a toolkit for Lifelong Learning courses in the field of cultural tourism and heritage. They have also designed and implemented a master’s programme in the WB countries and created an online platform for communication between stakeholders, industry leaders, managers, workforce, and academia.
