Scientific Conference “The Black Sea Archaeology as a Factor in the Cultural Tourism”
During October 10-12, 2022, the conference proceedings were held in Nessebar (Bulgaria) “The Black Sea Archaeology as a Factor in the Cultural Tourism”, part of the activities within the project BSB 867 Black Sea Archaeology, History and Culture Portal – ARHICUP. Within it, the representatives of the three partners of the project presented papers on the role of women in Black Sea archeology and the importance and integration of archaeological research in cultural tourism in the Black Sea region.
The event was organized by Municipality Nessebar (project leader), the guests being representatives of the two partner institutions, the Museum of National History and Archaeology Constanţa (PP2) and the National Museum of History of Moldova (PP3), and of the target groups.
The practical panel of the conference included exchange of experience, sharing of good practices and ideas. It was mentioned the role of modern technologies and the opportunities they provide for the good management of the tourist resources. In the discussion on the relationship of archaeology to the development of cultural tourism in the Black Sea region, it was noted that digitally accessible content is a means of promoting the sites in a new way, but it could not replace on-site visits. Digitization is not only as a method for documenting and preserving cultural values, but also a way by which historical sites fit into the larger model of the successful destination marketing. This is a guarantee for sustainable development of the local tourism.
The works presented at the conference will be uploaded to the web portal of the project accessible at the link https://arhicup.net/en/
