Become a member

Who can be a member of
the Creative Tourism Network®?

There are two types of memberships:

• The Creative Friendly Destinations: represented by the DMOs or local administration (City Council, Direction of Tourism, Department of Culture, Ministry, etc.). This membership recognizes the exclusivity of the destination.
  Important! No matter whether your destination is a small village, a town, an island, a rural area, a winter destination, a metropolis …
• Its value relies on its intangible heritage, its authenticity, its creativity, and people’s friendliness! See examples.

• The Creative Tourism platforms, managed by private entities (temporarily inactive – Apologies).

In both cases, we invite you to contact us even if your project is not created yet. It will be our pleasure to help you!
