The International Association of Cultural and Digital Tourism (IACuDiT) is a global network of
people, projects and events that bear on a wide range of issues of concern and interest in
cultural and digital tourism, in an era of major global changes. IACuDiT is a nonprofit
international association which values creative, ethical and progressive action aimed at the
improvement of global hospitality and tourism research on cultural and digital issues.
The International Association of Cultural and Digital Tourism brings together a wide range of
academics and industry practitioners from cultural, heritage, communication and innovational
tourism backgrounds and interests. It mainly promotes and sponsors discussion,
knowledge-sharing and close cooperation among scholars, researchers, policy makers and
tourism professionals. It is based on the notion that: “Technological changes do not
influence the missions of cultural tourism actors in the areas of promotion and product
development, but rather the manner of carrying them out.” It provides its members with a
timely, interactive and international platform to meet, discuss and debate cultural, heritage
and other tourism issues that will affect the future direction of hospitality and tourism research
and practice in a digital and innovational era.
Its mission is to contribute to the paradigm changes needed, in order to achieve cultural
tourism development on all levels, as the digital era suggests new possibilities and creates
exciting horizons for future conversations with persons from a wide variety of national and
international settings. For achieving our goals, we participate in European Union funded
research projects in order to be at the forefront of scientific knowledge.
