Op donderdag 26 november is Museum Geelvinck een van de locaties waar de conferentie Heritage, Hospitality & Tourism plaats vindt. Waar ligt het evenwicht tussen de stimulering van de locale economie van toeristische trekpleisters en het in gevaar brengen van het kwetsbare cultureel erfgoed ter plekke? In hoeverre kan toerisme bijdragen aan duurzame ontwikkeling of leidt juist tot ontwrichting? Actuele vragen, waar u meer over kunt horen.

How to preserve heritage thanks to and despite tourism? What is the role of heritage in the identity and brand of a city, region or nation? How to use (digital) media to attract visitors and turn a visit into an inspiring experience?

Fascinated by these and related issues the University of Amsterdam, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Erasmus University Rotterdam and Elgin & Co. organise the second Heritage, Tourism and Hospitality conference on 25 – 27 November 2015.
