"The orange economy boosts sustainable tourism by promoting cultural and creative experiences that value and preserve the cultural and natural heritage of a region. This is the origin of the concept of Orange Tourism to define a sustainable tourism that generates cultural, economic and social development based on the responsible tourism management of cultural heritage, artistic production and cultural and creative industries," said José Grateraux, CEO of Switch | Havas, one of the companies organising the event.
Orange tourism is an articulator and enhancer of the orange economy, contributing to generate opportunities for the local community based on its identity and through the configuration of orange destinations, territories or tourist clusters with cultural identity.
