Revitalization and Tourism concentrates on: the role of culture and arts, with respect to urban and regional regeneration, to renew a depressed or underdeveloped neighborhood by adding arts and heritage components; the use of arts for revitalization processes and the creation of the vitality of a city or region; the strategies and programs to motivate artists and cultural operators to live and create in urban and isolated areas and to contribute to the communities in which they are located; the effects of cultural tourism on regional economic growth as they relate to building social capital and urban development processes.
