D4.4 Evaluation framework for participatory modelling

The evaluation of participatory models in cultural tourism development is a multifaceted endeavor that demands a comprehensive approach. Such an approach must encompass the assessment of innovative tools, outcomes, stakeholder expectations, and the process of engagement and collaboration between actors. While inherently complex, it is essential to include both process and outcome evaluation, recognizing their interdependence and the role they play in driving sustainable cultural tourism development. By developing a robust evaluation framework that accounts for these complexities, the INCULTUM project can effectively assess the impact of participatory approaches and pave the way for more inclusive and sustainable cultural tourism initiatives.
