"Culture and tourism in the mountain village" - Forum medelina
Event Information
Description
The desire to live in a mountain village remains strong. This seems paradoxical because many peripheral villages are struggling with structural problems. These are based, among other things, on the lack of everyday presence of the population. New lifestyles and growing prosperity are making it possible to temporarily fulfill the dream of village life - but this is now being outsourced to leisure activities. Today, many places in the mountain region are economically and socially strongly influenced by the desires of tourists and second homes from the urban centers of the lowlands. The culture of living together must be rethought and developed together. The old images of the "village idyll" continue to dominate, although they have long since been replaced by new everyday realities. What does this mean for the future of mountain villages? What kind of culture and tourism offer opportunities for future-oriented, "lively" village developments? We want to talk about this at the medelina forum for mountain region makers 2025.
