Leader projects, local and regional authorities, universities and other actors involved in tourism participated to the event, that
was mainly devoted to the promotion and valorisation of European citizenship and cultural and historical heritage.
This year, a special focus was given to
"European Cultural Routes",
in line with new communication of the European
Commission "Europe, the world's No 1 tourist destination
– a new political framework for tourism in Europe"
adopted on the 30th June 2010, where the need of
promoting cultural itineraries is specifically
mentioned.
In this Communication, the cultural routes Programme is indicated as an interesting model as it promotes a sustainable and qualitative touristic offer but also to discover a cultural heritage shared by several European states.
