Panel discussion "Between quality and kitsch: (building) culture and tourism"

The public panel discussion is organized by the Research Group Tourism and Sustainable Development.

(Construction)Culture is of great importance in tourism. Cultural attractions are central travel motives and commercial tourist products. Traditional and contemporary building cultures give a place identity and uniqueness.

What connections between culture and tourism are driving regional development forces? Where are the boundaries between quality and commercial kitsch? What potential does (building) culture have for the tourism development of the Alpine region?

Experts from architecture, tourism and culture will discuss these and other questions in an inspiring round of discussions.

Panel discussion with:

• Alice Bertogg, Product Manager Culture, Surselva Tourism
• Sandra Bühler-Krebs, Lecturer at the Institute for Building in the Alpine Region, FHGR
• Kerstin Camenisch, President of the ICOMOS Jury, Historic Hotel of the Year
