Creative tourism as a local development strategy.

Abstract Creative tourism can be a platform for many purposes: as you change your objective and the elements in it, you obtain different results. Using creative tourism as a competitive advantage, one can provide clients with a memorable experience whose result is an enthusiastic, engaged promoter. It can be used as a strategy to teach many abilities to people at any age, developing creative capacities as well as notions of history, language, biology, and even teamwork abilities, empathy, and other social skills. A creative tourism strategy can also be used to improve innovation in some places, encouraging people to take part in creative activities throughout the city and providing another perspective about the locale. This study aims to present a way to stimulate social development using creative tourism to transform cultural assets into products in low-income communities. It also discusses how this intervention can generate a business network that supports local development and reflects the socioeconomic progress of the territories through visibility and as a basic dimension of dignity.
