The EUHeritage-Tour - Network for European Cultural Heritage Tourism

The proponents of this paper are currently the members of the “Consortium for the European Network for Cultural Heritage Tourism”, coordin- ated by X23 Ltd., co-financed by the European Union, DG Industry&Enterprise — 44/G/ENT/PPA/12/6460. Th e initiative is achieving a considerable success, given its particular combination of cultural aspects, development of the principles of European “Unity” and “Identity”, the efficient business modelling, a strong use of local resources and capabilities, the acute “short-clustering” capabilities through areas heretofore un- correlated, the extension of a consistent Network of networks, and the use of disruptive technological innovation. The Steering Committee is com- !posed of members of ICOMOS (prof. M. Ioannides, membership number CYP 6853), UNWTO and UNESCO.
