In-depth analysis of 18 case studies on state-of-the-art of cultural tourism interventions

The aim of Work Package 3 of the SmartCulTour project (www.smartcultour.eu) is to provide a state-of-the-art overview of cultural tourism interventions implemented in European cities and regions, thereby identifying best practices and the impacts and success conditions of cultural tourism interventions. Based on the previous, desk-researched 107 interesting cultural tourism interventions see "Desk research of 107 case studies on state-of-the-art of cultural tourism interventions", DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.5213017 ), a further 18 interventions were selected for in-depth analysis.

These 18 cultural tourism interventions were analyzed via a series of expert interviews, combined with document and literature analysis, performed in the period January 2021-March 2021. Description of the case studies follows a standardized case study data collection form. This form is included here as "Case study data collection form". The form collect data on:

• Context and background information;
• The 'reason why' of the intervention;
• The intervention;
• Resources and tools necessary to design and implement the interventions;
• Impacts (expected, perceived and measured);
• (Perceived) success conditions and limiting factors.

The semi-structured interviews left some room for adaptability depending on the case studies. A general guide on potential interview questions is included here as "Potential questions list for case study interviews".

All case studies are included as invididual odt-files, starting with "detailed case study + name of the intervention". At this moment 8 out of 18 interventions are provided, with a further 10 interventions being uploaded in a second Version expediently, after a final internal check.
