Leaders International’s Post

DT Global Europe recently hosted a session led by David Michelmore (Conservation and Development consultant) about the powerful intersection of #CulturalHeritage and #Tourism in promoting #sustainable development, with a focus on Ethiopia's efforts to leverage heritage for socio-economic growth. David highlighted some key takeaways from when he was the Team Leader of “Promoting Heritage for Ethiopian Development (PROHEDEV)” implemented by DT Global and Ethiopia’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism. This program emphasizes local ownership, with the motivation to adress regional needs, and includes a combination of conservation, tourism infrastructure development, and capacity building. 💡 Key insights from the session included: 🔑 The importance of World Heritage status as a catalyst for socio-economic transformation. 🏛️ Tourism diversification projects that build capacity in local communities while preserving traditional crafts and urban heritage. ⚖️ The need to balance new tourism ventures with the protection of local culture and businesses, ensuring long-term sustainability. 😊 The significance of creating a positive visitor experience, focusing on key attractions and hassle-free visits. During his visit, David explained the potential of heritage sites to generate local income and provide livelihoods for communities, while also highlighting the challenges. He explained that successful tourism isn't accidental but requires careful planning and community involvement. In international development, heritage preservation is not just about monuments—it's about people, culture, and economic empowerment. 💪🌎 #IWork4DTGlobal #WeAreDTGlobal #CulturalHeritage #SustainableTourism #InternationalDevelopment #Ethiopia
