Crafting Regional Growth : A guide to evaluating cultural tourism

The Cultural Ministers Council has published a step by step guide to assist agencies to assess the economic value, tourism impact and benefit of cultural tourism in their region.

The guide can be used by regional tourism managers to evaluate the impact of cultural tourism in their regions. It is in a workshop format, and takes users and participants through the techniques for gathering information to assess the economic value, tourism impact and benefit of cultural tourism in a destination.
