The Beyond Tourism Manifesto, published in August 2024 by the Be.CULTOUR initiative, outlines a vision for circular and human-centred cultural tourism. It emphasises the importance of moving beyond mass tourism to create travel experiences that respect local identities and landscapes, promoting inclusivity, beauty and sustainability.The manifesto, also known as the Larnaca Manifesto, synthesises policy recommendations from the Be.CULTOUR community. It serves as a strategic guide for policymakers, cultural stakeholders and tourism professionals, advocating for the integration of circular economy principles and community-driven initiatives to foster cultural preservation, economic vitality and environmental stewardship.To explore the policy document in detail, follow the attached link on the left-hand side of the platform.
