September 27, European Tourism Day; Brussels.

The conference will discuss how the preservation and promotion of the European industrial heritage may contribute to the diversification of the tourism offer in Europe, and how – at the same time – tourism development strategies may be key alternatives to avoid job-losses and economic depression in abandoned industrial areas.
