publications on tourism proliferate, and

new niches of this lucrative global
activity are constantly emerging: geo-
tourism seems rather naively passé
compared with what’s at hand, say
cyber-tourism. Yes, electronically
simulated travel is a legitimate new
niche that will allow participants to
travel “free of the usual restrictions of
time, distance, cost and human
frailty”(1). Just the recipe for environ-
mentalists and for consumers riddled by
economic mishaps, one might say.

It would seem, therefore, that there is

little left to say. And yet, there is.
Particularly if we are dealing with the
Mediterranean basin, which receives
1/3 of the income of international
tourism(2) with the impacts to match,
including those on heritage.
Traditionally, coastal tourism (mostly in
Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Malta)
is the culprit in bringing on the most
damage to the region, but recent
developments show that between 2000
and 2006, Mediterranean Partner
Countries (MPC) have been witnessing
an 8.4% increase in number of nights
spent by tourists(3). If the MPC are
joining the band wagon of mass tourism,
then there is a need for extreme vigi-
lance to avoid the hasty short-sighted
decisions that lead to inappropriate
practice and development.

A shared heritage and tourism
in the Mediterranean
By GEorGES S. ZouaIn, rMSu ProjEcT ManaGEr
Because of the very particular geography of this region, we share the same cultural
substratum, the same subconscious and the same vision of life. So if this is the case, why
talk about an inter-cultural dialogue and cultural tourism as a means of meeting and
exchange when it has never stopped?
Tourism agencies, tour operators and national advertising rely mainly on three topics: the
sun, the food and hospitality, and the historical and archaeological heritage. Traditions and
local customs have also become a product of tourism, and the demand for a type of small
groups tourism that seeks a relationship with the resident is experiencing a strong growth.
The main objectives of the programme are to integrate the built cultural heritage and
archaeological heritage with the local customs and traditions, ensure the reappropriation of
this heritage by the inhabitants, and make them proud of it.
By its intervention in tourism, EH 4 seeks to promote first the content of tourism activity, as
opposed to growth of visitor numbers or income. The programme seeks to find answers to
how to make tourism an instrument of encounter, of respect, and of an understanding of
the other and the other’s projection in the future. That can only come through a two-way
encounter, through mutual respect and through exploring the other’s identity. Thus, partners
1 from both shores together try to find common solutions for the use of historic neighborhoods
2 or major archaeological monuments to promote dialogue and exchange, build networks
associated to these sites, highlighting similarities and stimulating the flowering of an
4
intelligent tourism. Beyond a traditional and classic tourism made up of dreams and
6 memories of the past, our hope is to be able to develop productive matches between
professional or geographical communities and between young people, for a productive and
10
unifying tourism. In this way, tourism will not be limited to the visual enjoyment of
11 archaeological sites and monuments and heritage cities, perceived as soulless objects of a
12 museum. Eventually, it will be about shattering the tourism sector, freeing it from the
domination of mass tourism and transforming it into a complementary activity to other forms
of exchange between the shores of the Mediterranean Sea n

thematic workshop: Management of heritage
sites and artefacts (petra, Jordan, 17-19 May
2010)
The management of cultural heritage sites and
artefacts in the Mediterranean region needs
considerable improvement. This workshop will
therefore introduce participants to the
fundamentals of a Heritage Management Plan
(HMP), including the integration of tourism
aspects guaranteeing the sustainable
preservation of heritage and sites and
representing at the same time a chance for
economic and social development at the local
level. amongst various examples of HMP
approaches and implementation, the case of
Petra will be used as a major case study together
with other examples in the management of urban
historic centres, monuments and archaeological
sites, museums, itineraries and routes, etc., from
around the Mediterranean. The objective is to
bring to participants the state-of-the-art in HMP
and stimulate them into developing aspects of
HMP to be translated into a viable business plan
within their project activities. The workshop will
produce a list of recommendations for
approaches more tailored to needs that would
serve towards the elaboration of a “reference
document”.

the page over the past and initiating the reform

tourism action
and the role
of the private sector
By Hani aBu DayyeH, Director, netours
In trying to attempt to address the role of the
private sector in tourism and culture as they
relate to development, one must address three
spheres of concern: tourism, culture and
development. These are fields that encompass a
good part of human interaction and experience
and the interrelations between them are very
complex indeed; they become more so when
they interact with human and environmental
concerns: “Tourism touches upon people’s
connections with other peoples, places and the
past and it cuts across the fields of planning,
education, health, environment, transport,
development and culture”(1).
culture is defined as the systems of knowledge
shared by a relatively large group of people; it
therefore refers to the cumulative deposit of
knowledge, experience, beliefs, values, attitudes,
meanings, hierarchies, religion, notions of time,
roles, spatial relations, concepts of the universe,
and material objects and possessions acquired
by a group of people in the course of generations
through individual and group striving.
From this perspective, it is important to
emphasise 5 points:
1. The transmitive nature of culture across other
cultures and across generations. Dr. ali Qleibo, a
Palestinian anthropologist, explains:
“Throughout history a great diversity of peoples
has moved into the region and made Palestine
their homeland: jebusites, canaanites,
Philistines from crete, anatolian and Lydian
Greeks, Hebrews, amorites, Edomites,
nabateans, arameans, romans, arabs, and
European crusaders, to name a few... others,
such as ancient Egyptians, Hittites, Persians,
Babylonians, and Mongols, were historical
‘events’ whose successive occupations were as
ravaging as the effects of major earthquakes...
Like shooting stars, the various cultures shine
for a brief moment before they fade out... The
people, however, survive. In their customs and
manners, fossils of these ancient civilizations
survived until modernity...”(2)
2. culture is both an input as well as an output of
development. one cannot deny that the
religious heritage of the Holy Land is the main
constituent that attracted religious tourism to
our region for thousands of years. also, one
cannot deny the cultural influences and eco-
nomic contributions of cultural products such as
films, music and traditional craft productions.
3. There is no high culture and low culture. Every
OUR FEATURE
OF CHOICE
culture is very important on its own and has
inherent richness in it. one has just to be
reminded of the historic event that happened
two thousand years ago in a very humble and
nondescript village called Bethlehem at the
periphery of the roman Empire, and the
eventual influence of the teachings of christ
coming from these humble origins, which
revolutionised the religious traditions and the
politics of the roman Empire. another “more
modern” example is the great and central
influence of the Black-african music on the
development of music in the uSa. Both of these
two cultural influences were and are still felt
globally.
4. There is no cultural determinism. Going back
to Weber’s thesis on the decisive role of
cultural component of Protestant ethics in the
successful development of a capitalist
industrial economy, this notion no longer
stands and cultures, however ‘weak’, cannot
be relegated to perpetual backwardness and
underdevelopment.
5. Globalisation, including that of tourism and
global cultural invasion through trade and
tourism, might contribute to the destruction
of local cultures – a loss that will impoverish
non-Western societies- however, it does not
have to be a threat, and it could provide
opportunities to learn, appreciate, enhance
and enrich the local cultures.
Some facts need to be taken into consideration:
First, one should not forget that tourism is first and
foremost an economic enterprise that ideally
should lead to sustained economic growth,
increasing the standard of living of a nation’s
population from a simple, low-income economy to
a modern, high-income economy. Its scope
includes the process and policies by which a nation
improves the economic, political, and social well-
being of its people. also, GDP is widely used by
economists to gauge the health of an economy;
however its value as an indicator for the standard
of living is limited. GDP does not measure the
wealth distribution and sustainability of growth. as
many examples can illustrate, a country may
achieve a temporarily high GDP by over-exploiting
natural resources or by misallocating investment;
by the same token, economic growth at the
expense of environmental degradation can end up
costing dearly. We had a glaring example of this
most recently in the uSa.
Going back to our main theme, both culture and
tourism are very important components of deve-
lopment. and since we contend that the capitalist
mode of development has inherent weaknesses,
one must look at other models of development
including that of tourism. The sustainable model of
development is the benchmark that a lot of
economists and countries are trying to integrate in
their development policies.
GHARDAIA, ALGERIA - C. GRAZ 2009
Sustainable development has been defined as
balancing the fulfilment of human needs with the
protection of the natural environment while
keeping a perspective on the future. In other
words, it is development that “meets the needs of
the present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs”(3).
When one takes this approach, then one must also
comment on what are those human needs that
must be met. Here it is imperative to refer to
amartya Sen’s approach to development and how
it should be evaluated in terms of “the expansion
of the ‘capabilities’ of people to lead the kind of
lives they value – and have reason to value”(4)
which is basically Sen’s definition of freedom. This
approach puts the people in the context of their
own culture and what values they see in it and
what they would like to see developed and
enhanced or dispensed with as archaic and
limiting. unlike increases in income, the expansion
of people’s ‘capabilities’ depends both on the
elimination of oppression and on the provision of
facilities like basic education, health care and social
safety nets. In this sense growth in real output per
capita is also likely to expand people’s capabilities.
This model of development shifts the focus of
development economics from national income
accounting to people-centred policies.
From the above, one can therefore infer that the
field of sustainable development can be
conceptually divided into four general spheres:
social, economic, environmental and institutional.
The first three address key principles of
sustainability, but overlaps and conflicting
priorities within the social capital, economic capital
and natural capital will make it even more difficult
to devise precise policies. With such conflicting
concerns, one can discern the complexities
involved in developing the policy frameworks for
tourism and culture. The discussion of these
various issues involved becomes even more
complex as these spheres merge and intersect.
The institutional sphere or dimension addresses
key issues related to institutional policy and capa-
city. In tourism this latter dimension becomes even
more important and must be addressed in a serious
manner. Sustainable development ties together
concerns for the carrying capacity of natural
systems with the social challenges facing humanity
as a whole. These concerns of carrying capacity in
tourism are being now addressed very seriously,
and national and local governments are just begin-
ning to think of the carrying capacity of their public
parks, heritage sites, historic cores and the physical
degradation of their touristic capital. recently the
Governor of the Israeli central Bank advocated
more investment in tourism with the hope to
achieve 8 – 10 million tourists per year by 2012.
although this interest in tourism at the highest
level is most commendable, it does stumble upon
very real issues of local and regional politics, such

as water allocation, and the physical carrying
capacity of the sites, to mention a couple. nobody
is going to rebuild and expand the churches of the
Holy Sepulchre and the nativity, or al-aqsa Mosque
and Dome of the rock, or the Western Wall Plaza,
to meet the expanding number of tourists. They
concretely reflect the real limits to growth and
development, which cannot be open-ended.
The private sector plays a crucial in this complex
convergence of relationships governing tourism,
culture and development. For the longest period,
the western countries, led by the uSa, have been
pushing capitalism as the driving engine for growth
and development. Their undue influence on
development agencies such as the World Bank, the
International Monetary Fund, and the European
Investment Bank has often led to development in
Third World countries that has generated an even
greater poverty. at the very heart of this capitalist
system is the private sector.
It is now more than clear that capitalism as
practiced today is not working; and one has to re-
evaluate adam Smith’s “hidden hand” theory,
which is at the heart of the capitalist system. It is
definitely hard to deny that trade and commerce
as adam Smith foresaw would lead to greater
economic prosperity thus spreading the benefits to
the general population. yet in today’s world, the
economy is led by mega private sector institutions
that are “too big to be allowed to fail”, and these
have managed to corrupt the whole system of
competition at the micro level. They have created
monopolies and have tended to misallocate
resources to protect their preferential positions in
the market. What we are witnessing today is not a
“hidden hand” but a “clenched fist” that is used
liberally against other nations and against peoples
and governments. as wealth and political power
become increasingly concentrated, it becomes
difficult for human-scale democracy to flourish.
The question that naturally follows: who is really
left to take care of the “common good” when
power is so highly concentrated? Governments’
role through laws, rules and regulations should
have been one of the main addresses to attend to
the common good, but experiences show that
politics tend to corrupt business and business
tends to corrupt politics. also, how can the private
sector on its own be the main vehicle for
development when greed, which is the motivating
force in the private sector, tries its best to
maximize profit in the shortest time possible? In
an interview by nation Magazine with Michael
Moore, the producer of the documentary
“capitalism: a Love Story”, Mr. Moore noted that
“capitalism is the legalisation of this greed. Greed
has been with human beings forever. We have a
number of things in our species that you would call
the dark side, and greed is one of them. If you
don’t put certain structures in place or restrictions
on those parts of our being that come from that
dark place, then it gets out of control.”
When business performance is measured on a
quarterly basis, economic, environmental, and
socio-cultural degradation have much longer time
spans. In “collapse: How Societies choose to Fail
or Succeed”, jared Diamond, an evolutionary
biologist, says: “civilisations share a sharp curve of
decline. Indeed, a society’s demise may begin only
a decade or two after it reaches its peak
population, wealth and power.” - So why not take
precautionary steps to stop a society’s decline and
fall?- He adds: “unfortunately one of the choices
has depended on the courage to practice long-
term thinking, and to make bold, courageous,
anticipatory decisions at a time when problems
have become perceptible but before they reach
crisis proportions.”
This does not mean that the private sector does
not have a role; along with the government, it
does have a role, but these two sectors must be
tempered with an active civil society which is a
necessary third arm of sustainable development.
civil Society is that component of social life that
falls outside the domain of governments and
commerce, yet is concerned with community
building. as such, it is the sector that should insist
on those controls to be imposed on capitalism in
order to make sure that greed is curbed. one
significant role of civil society is therefore to
maintain a barrier between commerce (i.e. the
private sector) and government. citizens must pay
constant attention in order to resist the undue
influence of wealth on politics on the one hand or
government mismanagement of wealth on the
other. Immediate and democratic participation in
shaping the built environment, land-use, taxation
and spending, laws, and policies are intrinsic to
sustainable development, including tourism. It is
vital that this participation be provided through
spontaneous channels and not just through formal
governmental processes.
“non-profit organizations, associations, trade
unions, religious institutions, bookstores, cafes,
and related community assets play a critical role in
hosting and shaping civil society. They provide
ongoing ways for citizens to engage in the great
conversations about society’s meaning and
direction. Such dialogue allows fundamental
values to be explored and profound new directions
to emerge. It forms an important counterpoint to
both the formal governance process and the
expression of immediate consumer values in the
marketplace. To attain a successful sustainable
economy, countries must promote the civil society
through an emphasis on local controls and
accountability and social equity. capital that is
rooted locally is responsive to local concerns.”(5)
citizens with a sense of security and whose
fundamental needs, as outlined by amartya Sen,
EL ATTEUF, ALGERIA - M. SIBLEY 2009
are met, are more likely to shape civic society. In
turn, sustainable tourism and cultural develop-
ment depends very much on an ongoing
transformation in values that can only result from
meaningful public debate. not only true develop-
ment can be achieved this way, but in the process
political stability is maintained and strengthened.
In a workshop on “The Mediterranean: a Sea that
unites/ a Sea that Divides”, the point of reference
was an observation of Fernand Braudel: “what
characterizes the history of cultural contact along
this sea is the metaphor of recouvrement, the
superimposition or the imbrications of cultures
within each other. There is no such thing as a pure,
genuine, unspoiled culture in the Mediterranean.
Each culture has lived within its neighbours, each
has expressed values, preferences, traditions
which are not only its own, but are also those of
cultures which, at an official level, has been
considered antagonistic even inimical.”
Few regions in the world can match the depth of
historical experience, the diversity of religious and
ethnic situations, and the complexity of social
interaction. all of the above contributes to an
unparalleled and unique tourism product world-
wide. The well known Egyptian writer Ms. ahdaf
Soueif in her book Mezzaterra does also recognize
this unique richness of our Mediter-ranean region.
on the one hand she describes the ease with
which people around the region, certainly from the
arab countries, used to weave their way through
these diverse but interactive cultures with great
ease and comfort. now she decries the constant
loss of this Mezzaterra. With it we will also have
the impoverishment of our Mediterranean region
as a whole, and certainly the richness of our
cultural and tourism products. The role of tourism
is not only in its developmental contribution, but
just as importantly to help rebuild the Mezzaterra
so that we can enjoy the richness of these diverse
cultures, learn from each other’s cultures and
recognise ourselves in each other. Quoting the
poet Tagore: “Whatever we understand and enjoy
in human products instantly become ours,
wherever they might have their origins. I am proud
of my humanity when I can acknowledge the poets
and artists of other countries as my own.”
culture and cultural products, including tourism,
are more than mere geography and products of a
certain geographic origin n

Discovering ancient city-ports
along phoenician maritime routes

ARWAD, SYRIA - F. FUCCELLO 2009 RHODES, GREECE - F. FUCCELLO 2009 TARTOUS, SYRIA - F. FUCCELLO 2009

Scattered along the ancient maritime routes throughout the Mediterranean, Phoenician port-
cities developed intense exchanges throughout the region, motoring a flourishing commercial
activity and contributing to the richness of the Mediterranean culture. To revitalise the traces
of this civilisation, in our day rather neglected, represents quite an opportunity for developing
social and economic activities and integrating them to a sustainable and quality tourism. It
becomes challenging when it seeks the active involvement of public institutions and local
communities in the process. aiming at the creation of a touristic trail embracing six
Mediterranean countries - Greece, Italy, Lebanon, Malta, Syria and Tunisia - Mare nostrum
project takes up this challenge.
Elena Di Federico, researcher at Parallelli, partner of Mare nostrum project, tells us how...

Which cities will be included in your touristic trail?
We have selected six towns that share a common past rooted in
the Phoenician civilisation and where both tangible and intangible
traces of this important culture are, in different ways, still present:
carthage in Tunisia, rhodes in Greece, Syracuse in Italy, Tartous
and arwad in Syria, Tyre in Lebanon and Valletta in Malta. The
state of conservation of ancient buildings and vestiges in these
cities is to be enhanced, and the physical connection between
these ports and the cities that have subsequently sprawled around
them deserves to be better emphasised and valorised. Through
the creation of a cultural trail having as the main thread the
Phoenician past, Mare nostrum wants to foster the attention of
local authorities and inhabitants to this specific heritage,
contribute to the restoration of the waterfront-archaeological
sites, unfold its importance on contemporary city life, and create
opportunities for social and economic development through the
definition of management plans promoting and supporting a
tourism of quality.
What will trail include and how will it be implemented?
The trail works at two levels, at the level of partner cities and at
the regional level. Each city will feature its own Heritage Trail,
and this trail will include an urban pedestrian circuit highlighting
the connection waterfront/city with accompanying maps,
photos, drawings etc., and multilingual panels with explanatory
texts. The trail will connect all places of archaeological, historical
and cultural interest -monuments, archaeological and worship
sites, historical buildings, and spaces retaining a memory of the
place. The Heritage Trail will also show the distribution of
 CONNECTING - ISSUE N°4 - MARCH 2010

traditional and handicrafts activities still developed in between
the water fronts and the city core for each of the cities, in order
to re-create, whenever possible, a “handicrafts route” -
craftsmen workshops and houses, shops, etc. - branded with
similar panels and logos for all the cities involved in the project.
The creation of a “Mare nostrum label” will allow visitors to
orientate themselves through the trail and facilitate advertise
and exploit its potential in terms of commercialisation and
development of business opportunities. at the macro level, a
Mediterranean itinerary will be drawn connecting all six port-
cities included in the project.
What kind of approach are you applying in the development of
the tourism management plan?
our work is based on a “participatory planning approach” that
permits to collect and integrate all stakeholders’ points of view
and inputs including initiatives already undertaken by local
administrations, to have a clear understanding of touristic
demand and supply, and to shape the actions according to the
feature of a specific context. We have already implemented this
methodology in rhodes during the second half of 2009: through
interviews with local authorities’ representative and meetings
with experts from the Municipality Department of conservation
and restoration, we have identified an area - the east side of the
old town - that deserves to be better valorised. We have then
asked local residents about how they feel living in charming
Which activities are envisaged to strengthen local awareness of
phoenician heritage and attract tourism interest in the trail?
We will try to reach as wide a target group as possible. We will
organise an International concept competition - open to various
media such as comics, cartoons, photos, poetry... - addressed to
high school students, and an International Design competition for
students in architecture in order to understand how they perceive
and interpret their living spaces and the waterfront-city area in
particular, and encourage them to suggest new forms of
connection and revitalisation of the areas included in the Heritage
Trails. Through organising various exhibitions related to these
competitions, we will try to reach a wider public in partner
countries, including residents and user groups, and make them
aware of this heritage and show how they perceive their
“connection” with the other communities within the Phoenician
Trail. Exhibitions, together with festivals and other cultural
activities to be carried out for the duration of the project, will also
offer an opportunity to make the trails inside the cities and
throughout the region more attractive for tourists. This result is
particularly important as it will show through a bottom-up
approach the way people relate geographically and culturally with
other communities within the common Mediterranean basin n

historic places often affected by logistic problems and having

consequences on their daily life - lack of facilities, shops, public
transports... -, and which aspects they perceive are to be
improved or changed. a final workshop based on all the collected
information and gathering local inhabitants, politicians, TYRE, LEBANON - C. GRAZ 2003
administrators, technicians, representatives from neighbourhood
associations, etc., has permitted to identify some trails and
services possibly to be implemented, among which the
waterfront and city-wall tour, a promenade through various spots
of cultural interest, the bike sharing and touristic info points and
so on. The “participatory planning approach” will also be applied
in Tyre in the spring of 2010.

How would you say that Mare nostrum will contribute to the
development of quality touristic activity in the Mediterranean?

Mainly through the approach we propose, which functions at

many levels. at the completion of our activities in rhodes and
Tyre, when will have substantial results, we will prepare a
handbook containing guidelines for the development of a
participatory planning approach that could be applied to the
entire Mediterranean region. We will also train approximately 100
tourism guides to present the six cities of our trail and their
heritage in a dynamic and exciting way, including all aspects of
built heritage, including the monumental and the ordinary,
traditional arts and crafts, religious and cultural events, traditional
skills and techniques, food... We will also involve the local Tourist
Boards and at least 150 among local tour operators, travel agents,
and guides in the promotion of the trail in Syria, Lebanon, Tunisia,
Italy, Greece and Malta.

A TALK WITH…
Silvia Barbone

FEZ, MOROCCO - C. GRAZ 2009 PALERMO, ITALY - C. GRAZ 2010 JBEIL, LEBANON - C. GRAZ 2003

Tourism and culture can create opportunities for economic growth and social development only
if managed according to sustainable and effective approaches embracing both methodology and
content. Silvia Barbone, Managing Director of jLaG Ltd, a company specialised in tourism and
cultural planning, and training of project managers dealing with tourism and culture, introduces
us to PM4ESD (Project Management for European Sustainable Development), an innovative
project management methodology particularly conceived for the tourism and cultural sector ...

Project management and sustainable development form the hub
of pM4eSD-project Management for european Sustainable
Development, an initiative financed through the Eu Life Long
Learning Programme*, and managed by a public-private
partnership aiming at developing an international Project
Management methodology applying to two key sectors of
sustainable development: tourism and culture. PM4ESD is at the
same time a project management methodology - the
development process will soon be achieved and the first results
will be delivered by September 2011 – together with a partnership
composed by eight public and private partners in five countries
and including: one Municipality (Frigento, Italy), two Small
Medium Enterprises (QrP MMI, jLag), two chambers of
commerce (Edinburgh chamber of commerce, Istanbul chamber
of commerce), one university (university of Lodz), and two non
profit organisations specialised in training and local management
(Scuola camigliati and auxilum). This pilot phase of PM4ESD
covers the following areas: Mediterranean Europe (Italy, Turkey),
north Europe (uK), central Europe (austria), and Eastern Europe
(Poland). The PM4ESD proposal links two key concepts, “project
management” and “sustainable development”, which are the
basis of its rationale; in particular the concept of “sustainable
development” applied to the tourism and cultural sectors. once
validated, the results will be ready to be exploited in various
contexts including the Euro-Mediterranean region.
an innovative methodology
“PM4ESD is based on Prince2 (Projects IN Controlled
Environments), a structured method for effective project
management which is the “de facto” standard used extensively by
the UK Government and widely recognised and used in the private
sector, both in the UK and internationally. Our partnership will
innovate the methodology adapting Prince2 to two key sectors:
tourism and culture. PM4ESD aims to become a recognized
methodology at international level to be used both by local and
national governments, by companies and all stakeholders
operating in the tourism and cultural sectors. Project managers,
policy makers, entrepreneurs have a vital role in planning and
managing tourist and cultural sites, enterprises, and special
initiatives. It is time to have certified skills and competences, they
do need to work day by day with high project management
standards”, Silvia Barbone says.

according to European strategies established by international
economic and social observatories, “Sustainable development” is
a must for all countries in order to achieve real development for
present and future generations, but the challenge is how to
achieve “sustainable development” in the tourism and cultural
field. “Whether we are leading a public initiative or an industrial
one” Silvia Barbone states, “sustainable development must be
planned from the outset and incorporated within the business
case. Adapting Prince2 as a sustainable development approach for
the tourism and cultural sectors means the development of a
project management methodology and a training product which
can easily be applied as a practical instrument for managing public
and private initiatives. All available statistics indicate that the
tourism industry is of great economic importance and contributes
to the main economic policy goals such as improving economic
growth, structural change and employment”.
tourism and culture can create an economy and social growth if
planned and managed with a sustainable approach to
methodology and not just to content
The PM4ESD partnership has debated the need to develop a
project management strategy, which could guide local authorities
and stakeholders in their daily march towards sustainability. “The
starting point was a joint reflection: tourism and culture can create
an economy and social growth if planned and managed with a
sustainable approach to methodology and not just to content”,
emphasises Silvia Barbone. “This starts from the assumption that
in order to make destinations sustainable, it is not enough to install
solar panels create a list of restaurants or provide incentives for
intelligent transport. A management system that guarantees
sustainable action must also be implemented. Many tourist and
cultural projects have been delivered with public funding, but few
initiatives reach concrete benefits. An analysis has been done at
National levels. We found out that the lack of a methodology, had
allowed, during the last decade, to manage public funding, in
tourism and cultural sectors, without skills and controls. Many
funding have been spent for delivering project in tourism and
cultural results, but really few sustainable results for territories.
The concrete reasons of the failure are very often project
management reasons, such as the vagueness of responsibilities or
poor involvement of end-users within the process, the bad
communication or inadequate monitoring of benefits, or the
emphasis mainly or exclusively given to administrative control”.
a methodology with clearly defined roles and responsibilities to
implement concrete actions and having a real impact on local
communities
PM4ESD is a management methodology which is deployed
whenever an organisation, whether public or private, needs to
plan and manage a project. It provides a guarantee for local
authorities that the project will be transformed into concrete
actions with clearly defined roles and responsibilities and that
these actions will have a real impact on local communities. It helps
local authorities and private sector to govern transparently and
not to forget that every action must have corresponding benefits.
CONNECTING - ISSUE N°4 - MARCH 2010
The key features of the methodology are the focus on business
justification, a defined organisation structure for the project
management team, a product-based planning approach, the
emphasis given to the division of the overall project into
manageable and controllable stages, a flexibility to be applied at
a level appropriate to the project. “PM4ESD will provide benefits
to project managers and directors and to any organisation,
through the controllable use of resources and the ability to
manage business and project risk more effectively. PrIncE2
embodies established and proven best practice in project
management. It is widely recognised and understood, providing a
common language for all participants in a project. PrIncE2
encourages formal recognition of responsibilities within a project
and focuses on what a project is to deliver, why, when and for
whom. PrIncE2 involves all the stakeholders, including end-users,
within the Project Board of a project. all the main PrIncE2
features will be used in PM4ESD, but PM4ESD will be specifically
designed for planning and managing tourist and cultural projects”,
explains Silvia Barbone.
Useful tools to be used within other contexts and regions
The main outputs of PM4ESD will be the preparation of a manual
on “Project Management for European Sustainable Development”,
the key tool for managers interested in getting the qualification,
and the training tools (Foundation and Practitioner) produced. The
project is going to start its adaptation phase and an international
“adaptation workshop” will be held in austria by the end of May.
as soon as this phase will be finished, a pilot test will be done and
the validation process will start.
“PM4ESD aims at becoming a smooth standard-methodology to
be used by project managers in the tourism and cultural field in
order to make the project management easier and project impact
broader, and an international certification recognised by European
training systems to be adopted by any organisation as a guarantee
of sustainable management” n

controlling
the flow of tourists
of heritage sites
By jEan-LouIS LuxEn, rMSu SEnIor LEGaL ExPErT
The growth of the number of people that
visit heritage sites meets the expectations
of local people wishing to enhance their
heritage, and those of the tourists attracted
by the discovery of new destinations. This
results in greater attention to the heritage
and economic benefits for local
development. However, uncontrolled traffic
poses a serious threat to the integrity of a
site and the quality of visitor experience.
For a long time heritage professionals have
sounded the alarm. More recently, the
tourism industry has recognised the danger
of dissatisfaction of its customers. It is
therefore important to control the flow of
tourists.
cooperation is needed between
stakeholders players under the aegis of
public authorities to reconcile three
objectives:
- proper preservation of heritage
in its tangible and intangible dimensions,
- a balanced local development,
in compliance with host communities,
- a quality cultural tourism.
Such overall management can be based on
the Global code of Ethics of the WTo and
the cultural Tourism charter of IcoMoS.
an approach on a case-by-case basis is
necessary. There is no universal solution. It
is about asking the right questions and
offering to the players a range of measures
to address each specific situation.
operationally, we take into account three
main phases:
- demand: when the visitor selects
a destination and date,
- destination: the reception in the region
or city,
- the visited site (an urban area
or a particular building).
the demand management aims to spread
