Abstract
Since the 1950s tourism became accessible to many and over the years several trends were mapped and produced. Cultural tourism is relatively a recent phenomenon which initially started as an elitist activity. Cultural heritage is a strong medium of communication, growth and soft power. It impacts the economy, the social health and well-being, the sense of pride and belonging, the environment, and the way people behave and practice daily life, just to mention a few. The COVID-19 crisis spurred the birth of new trends linked to the lack of mobility, quarantine regulations, loneliness and desire to reconnect with nature, heritage and interact with human beings. Under the framework of H2020 project Be.CULTOUR 19 local groups embarked on an innovation route aimed at co-shaping the future of cultural tourism in Be.CULTOUR six partner European region. This paper aims to describe the process and outcomes of this cultural entrepreneurial journey.

Cities offers a comprehensive range of articles on all aspects of urban policy. It provides an international and interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of ideas and information between urban planners and policy makers from national and local government, non-government organizations, academia and consultancy. The primary aims of the journal are to analyse and assess past and present urban development and management as a reflection of effective, ineffective and non-existent planning policies; and the promotion of the implementation of appropriate urban policies in both the developed and the developing world.
