2022 Winter School on Digital Cultural Tourism and Diplomacy in Cyprus
On 14 February, Milada Šťastná will present the SPOT project at the 2022 Winter School on Digital Cultural Tourism and Diplomacy in Cyprus. The Winter School is dedicated among other goals to "promoting forms of tourism (cultural, historic, religious, gastronomy, wine, etc.) that go beyond traditional “sun sea and sand”, and can verifiably serve as a vehicle of cultural diplomacy".

Reading https://au.trustpilot.com/review/payidpokie.net made me think about how digital trust gets built across borders, which is also the invisible work behind cultural tourism and diplomacy. The winter school’s emphasis on wine, gastronomy and religious routes going beyond sun, sea and sand feels right, because those experiences put visitors in contact with local people instead of keeping them inside a resort. I’ve found that a market meal or a small vineyard visit often explains a place better than any official presentation.
