The inspiration behind the CULTURWB comes from the well-recognized need identified by all project partners in the Western Balkans region who work in the tourism and economy sectors and who already have a long-standing cooperation. All of them agree that there is an obvious need to strengthen the cultural tourism industry development in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro, to create and improve strategies for development of cultural tourism in these countries, address its importance and raise awareness of its pivotal role in safeguarding the rich cultural heritage in the region and beyond.

The concrete CULTURWB objectives are:
• Conduct research on instances and required competences of personnel in the cultural tourism industry;
• Develop a LLL programme;
• Develop an interdisciplinary MA program that consolidates the field of tourism management and culture & heritage by equipping the graduates to acquire the required qualifications for professional career in managing cultural aspects of tourism and heritage;
• Connect the tourism industries between the involved non-EU countries and prepare each WB partner country for the EU integration.

CULTURWB specific objectives are:
• Evaluation of the current situation in WBC in regards to applying the global developments in the tourism industry/Ljubljana process II Priorities non University and explores teacher training and education capacities;
