CULTOUR+ is an Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership in the field of Higher Education with the mission of coaching and fostering innovative and creative business ideas in cultural management for pilgrimage and religious cultural and thermal tourism (lodgement services, guiding services, museums, complementary activities to pilgrimage and thermal experiences, souvenirs designing, etc).

Questionnaires, field analysis units, protocols and scenarios will be presented in their general and more detailed traits from an interdisciplinary approach. Management aspects will be discussed as well as roadmaps for future actions.
