The third International Conference of the CREATOUR Project is devoted to Creative Tourism Dynamics, with a particular focus on communicating, engaging, and connecting travellers with local communities and place through creative tourism.

Keynote speakers include Charles Landry (Fellow, Robert Bosch Academy); Greg Richards (Professor, Tilburg University); Jafar Jafari (Founding Editor, Annals of Tourism Research); and Nancy Duxbury (Senior Researcher, Centre for Social Studies, University of Coimbra). CREATOUR highlights active participation; the learning and creation process; creative self-expression; and a link to the local community and sense of place. The overall objective of CREATOUR is to develop and pilot an integrated approach and research agenda for creative tourism in small cities and rural areas in Portugal, developing strong links within and amongst regions. CREATOUR is a national three-year project (2016-2019) funded under the Joint Activities Programme of PORTUGAL 2020, by COMPETE2020, POR Lisboa, POR Algarve and Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia.
