From cultural experiences and technological innovation to entrepreneurship and skills development, this lecture focuses on the potential of a diverse and socially sustainable economy.
For stakeholders in the public sector, this lecture offers inspiration and guidance for urban planners, decision-makers, and community leaders. Promoting and developing a strategic visitor industry is to invest in both current and future skills needs by stimulating local entrepreneurship, developing infrastructure, and positioning your brand in a targeted manner.
