How Much Tourism Value Stays Local
An interactive Tourism Value Systems™ workshop | Rural Thrive 2050
Tourism brings visitors, spending and opportunities into rural communities.
But what happens after the visitor pays?
Where does the money go next? Which local businesses benefit? And how can stronger connections help more value stay and circulate within the community?
Join GAMENG AB and Rural Thrive 2050 for a free, interactive online workshop exploring how tourism can contribute to stronger local economies and more resilient rural communities.
What will we explore?
Imagine a visitor spending €100 in your destination.
How far can that money travel through the local economy?
Using this simple example, we’ll explore how accommodation, restaurants, local producers, cultural experiences, transport and other businesses connect — and where new opportunities for local value creation may exist.
Think – Share – Solve
This is a participatory workshop where your ideas and experiences matter.
💡 THINK – Reflect individually

🤝 SHARE – Explore together
