• Total impact of heritage on tourism = almost 1 bio Euro or 0,3% GDP
Total impact of tourism = 2,5 of the GDP
Share of heritage tourism = 12%
Cumulated Added Value of 606 mio Euro/year
Employment of 11 500 people
6. Global impact of heritage on Tourism
Conclusions • Direct heritage expenses are relatively low.
Indirect heritage expenses are more important (food, drinks, shopping,
mobility)
• Importance of heritage as a background/decor for a city trip (40% >
residential tourism)
• The economic importance of tourists from abroad
• The combination of activities is important for the attractivity of a region. Looking for innovative combinations, not only between Culture and Tourism, but also between the public and private sector.
6. Global impact of heritage and culture on Tourism
Conclusions • Expected growth of cultural tourism by the increasing numbers of
active mediors/seniors, that are specifically interested in culture and heritage
• need for more qualitative and quantitative research on a regular basis about the impact of cultural heritage on tourism (not only of the immovable heritage but also of the tangible and intangible heritage)
• More cooperation between economic researchers and creative/artistic people.
