CULTOUR+. An erasmus+ strategic partnership on cultural tourism, entrepreneurship education and innovation

CULTOUR+ is an Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership in the field of Higher Education with the mission of coaching and fostering innovative and creative business ideas in cultural management for pilgrimage and religious cultural and thermal tourism (lodgement services, guiding services, museums, complementary activities to pilgrimage and thermal experiences, souvenirs designing, etc). We will present the innovative character of the project, its agenda and timeline and the first preliminary results of an international survey on pilgrimage and cultural routes in six different European Countries (Caminho Interior Portugues in Portugal, Vía de la Plata in Spain, Via Francigena in Italy, Radom-Jasna Gora in Poland, Krastova Gora in Bulgary, St. Paul’s Footprints in Greece). Questionnaires, field analysis units, protocols and scenarios will be presented in their general and more detailed traits from an interdisciplinary approach. Management aspects will be discussed as well as roadmaps for future actions.
