Sustainable Cultural Tourism Project - IMPACTS
Heritage Europe has received interest from several European historic towns and regional
authorities in a proposed project "IMPACTS" based on the Sustainable Tourism
Guidelines produced in 2010. The group of experts set up by Heritage Europe to
produce the original guidelines has also shown interest in continuing to advise on the new project.
Tthe potential partners expressing an interest in “ IMPACTS” are:- Dubrovnik (HR), Gent (BE),
Valletta (MT), Province of Friesland (NL), Province of Reggio Emilia (IT), Nis
(RS), Shrewsbury (UK), Osmangazi (TR), Niksar (TR), and Liège (BE).
Following a meeting of the expert group and representatives of the partner cities,held at the headquarters of English Heritage in London in June 2011, an outline proposal for the project was drafted and circulated to all the potential partners. The IMPACTS project will be coordinated by Heritage Europe's lead expert, Brian Human.

European Heritage Alliance 3.3
Heritage Europe working with Europa Nostra and a wide range of European heritage organisations will participate in the newly formed European Heritage Alliance 3.3.
Heritage Europe's Secretary General Brian Smith said, speaking at the conference in Amsterdam in June - "the time is now right for European heritage organisations to work together to ensure future EU policy reflects the needs of cultural heritage and historic towns".
A working group including Heritage Europe will meet in Brussels on September 7th 2011. The aim is to produce a strategy document by the end of 2011 to directly influence future EU policy on cultural and natural heritage. The document will be posted on our website as soon as available.
As part of this new joint approach Heritage Europe is backing the "we are more" campaign launched by Culture Action Europe in partnership with the European Cultural Foundation.For more information on the European Heritage Alliance 3.3 and to give your support to the campaign - click here.
