HERIPRENEURSHIP establishes long lasting partnerships in GR/RO/BG/MD/GE/TR to upgrade heritage based offers for new investment opportunities in tourism and the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) in the Black Sea Basin (BSB). It fosters tourism entrepreneurship exploiting the rising powers of the CCI to communicate to the connected consumer market the Black Sea heritage narrative. Challenges, the tourism sector faces in the Black Sea with existing services, are matched with new skills for new jobs by addressing the new world order of Audiovisual Media Services (EU AVMSD/2016). 60 small and micro enterprises in tourism and the Cultural and Creative Industries are mentored that they grow in the regional/national/international context and enhance their competitiveness through the rise of 180 skilled workers.
