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.
The 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 is working with Europa Nostra and a wide range of European heritage organisations in the newly formed European Heritage Alliance 3.3.
Heritage Europe's Secretary General Brian Smith said, speaking at the launch conference in Amsterdam in June 2011- "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, has been established and met in Brussels on September 7th 2011 with a further meeting taking place in April 2012.The aim is to produce a strategy document to directly influence future EU policy on cultural and natural heritage.
A letter setting out the Alliance's aims, co-signed by Heritage Europe's Secretary General Brian Smith and Europa Nostra's Secretary General Sneska Quaedvlieg-Mihailovic, has been sent to European Commissioner Androulla Vassiliou along with the first jointly produced document "Towards an EU Strategy for Cultural Heritage - The Case for Research"
