In addition to the above, a Handbook that connects community and culture through storytelling was presented, created in late 2019 in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and the Istrian Development Tourism Agency. The presentation was given by Assoc. Prof. Morena Paulišić from Juraj Dobrila University in Pula and external associate for the Praktikum course Manuela Hrvatin.
The theme of the conference related to new perspectives on the diversity of catering, tourism and events, the introduction of new trends, ways of educating the academic sector with the aim of achieving competitiveness on the tourism market, youth education and the application of sustainable tourism. The aim is to provide the highest quality training and involvement of young people in the community while creating unique experiences, which creates additional sustainable value of tourist products at the destination.
Furthermore, the Istra Inspirit project stood out at the 30th anniversary of the CAUTHE 2020 conference as one of the best examples of the valorization of cultural heritage, the revival of history, myths and legends, and the networking of a number of stakeholders in the destination.
