There has been a growing recognition of the tourist attractiveness of 
cities or regions that bet on creativity and innovation. The creative 
industries’ influence on regional and local development has been widely 
analyzed in national and international organizations. The creative 
industry encompasses a number of creativity-related activities as a 
central element, including the cultural sector and tourism. Considering 
that cultural traditions are an integral part of the creative economy, 
it is possible to conceive tourism as a creative activity, either by the 
experiences generated by the agents involved, by producing symbolic 
value; by originality, creativity and process of continuous innovation 
in certain tourist sectors, such as cultural tourism. Tourist 
destinations increasingly feel the need to differentiate themselves in 
order to become more competitive, attractive and sustainable.

The creation of tourism products and experiences arising from the 
combination of cultural, creative and tourist resources is one of the 
fundamental development strategies to achieve these objectives.
In this context, TOCRIA aims to bring together the knowledge that allows 
answering several questions related to the synergies that can be 
explored between the Tourism Industry and the Creative Industry, trying 
to answer some questions such as:
How can these two industries cooperate to be more competitive?
How does the tourism industry add value as a foundation for creative 
products?
What opportunities and challenges can be identified in order to develop 
these industries?
How can the academy help to innovate, create and transfer knowledge for 
the development of creative tourism?
With this propose, the authors must apply with an abstract under one of 
the following subjects:

·Entrepreneurship and project management

·Innovation, business models and financing

·Digital media, social media and content production
