Tourism is more than travelling and consumption; it has great potential when it comes to culture, nature, knowledge and personal experiences. Travelling is a way to learn and improve oneself, to enrich one’s vision and improve mutual understanding.

INCULTUM (Visiting the margins INnovative CULtural ToUrisM in European peripheries) is a three years innovation action funded by the European Union under the Horizon 2020 Programme, with the goal to explore the challenges and to unlock the potential of under-rated destinations when managed by local communities and stakeholders.
