Cultural Sustainable Tourism – the 8th International Conference

📍 Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy and Online (Hybrid)

UNESCO World Heritage Sites represent some of humanity’s most valuable cultural and natural assets. Yet preserving these places for future generations requires more than conservation alone; it demands sustainable management strategies that balance protection, community well-being, environmental responsibility, and economic viability.

As climate change, urban expansion, and increasing visitor numbers place growing pressure on heritage destinations, site managers and policymakers face critical questions:

🌱 How can heritage sites strengthen their resilience to environmental change?
🤝 How can local communities become active partners in heritage stewardship?
📊 What governance models can ensure long-term sustainability while supporting tourism development?
🌍 How can World Heritage Sites contribute to the achievement of global sustainability goals?

These challenges are shaping the future of heritage management and will be among the key topics explored at the 8th Edition of the International Conference on “𝑪𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝑺𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝑻𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒎 (𝑪𝑺𝑻)”, bringing together researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers from around the world.
