The 3rd Baltic Sea Region Cultural Heritage Forum on dynamically developing cultural tourism was held in Vilnius during the last week in September 2007. The three-day long forum discussed the socioeconomic potential of tourism, presented examples of its suitable exploitation, and organised four workshops on the folllowing topics: cultural tourism in historical cities, the impact of cultural tourism on the countryside and local traditions, the administration of cultural heritage sites for the needs of the development of tourism, and the role of local, regional and international partnership in cultural tourism. The outcome of the forum are post-conference recommendations intent on rendering the societies and politicians of Baltic Sea Region states aware of the crucial role of a well-preserved and differentiated cultural heritage for cultural tourism and the all-sided growth of the whole region.
