UNESCO’s intercultural programme is calling for young entrepreneurs in the Caribbean region in the hospitality and creative tourism sectors.
The selected young people will have the opportunity to attend the 15th World Heritage Destination World Tourism Event to be held in Genoa, Italy from September 12 to 14, 2024.
Culture and creativity are key pillars of sustainable tourism that benefit communities, preserve heritage and inspire innovation. The Intercultural Programme: Bringing Cuba, the Caribbean and the EU together through culture and creativity, implemented by UNESCO and funded by the European Union, invites young entrepreneurs from the Caribbean to showcase initiatives based on culture and creativity at the 15th World Tourism Event (WTE), the main platform for the promotion of World Heritage tourism.

Entrepreneurs operating creative tourism businesses in or near World Heritage sites are particularly encouraged to apply.
