This workshop will:
- Highlight the relationships in theory, policy and practice between tourism, hospitality, creativity and the ‘creative industries’
- Identify such relationships that may exist and / or have the potential for development in a destination area
- Reflect on your ‘cultural capital’ (and awareness of the ‘cultural capital’ of others) and the nature of the ‘Creative Class’ and cultural ‘scenes’ in a destination area
- Develop synergies between the creative and visitor economies through partnership strategies.
Tourism, hospitality and creative industry practitioners have much to learn from each other but occupy parallel universes of education, training and professional development programmes.
The ‘Creative Industries’ are defined internationally and by the UK Government as including the following sectors: Advertising and marketing; Architecture; Design and designer fashion; Film, TV, video, radio and photography; IT, software and computer services; Publishing; Music, performing and visual arts.
This workshop will equip you with an understanding of the challenges and opportunities for collaboration across the tourism and creative industry sectors.
You will also identify specific prospects for partnership working for mutual benefit at the interface between tourism and the creative industries.
Who should attend?
This workshop programme will be of value for practitioners and policy-makers working across tourism, hospitality and creative industry sectors.
