INDUSTRY - CULTURE - TOURISM

How do they fit together?

The inaugural Industrial Culture Symposium, held in October 2023 at ALFA Steyrermühl, marked the beginning of a significant discussion on the profound interconnections between industry, culture, and tourism.

This groundbreaking event brought together leading experts from these three crucial domains to explore valuable ideas, focusing particularly on theses of great importance to the tourism sector, including industrial buildings, pioneering spirit, innovation, division of tasks, and mobility. These aspects were carefully chosen to lay the foundation for a thorough examination of the topic of industrial culture and its promotion.

A central concern of the discussion was the clear division of tasks among the realms of industry, culture, and tourism. While industrial enterprises are responsible for appreciating their own industrial history, the tourism sector plays a crucial role in marketing it. The cultural scene, in turn, contributes to the promotion of industrial culture by creating thematically relevant events. It was emphasized how important it is for these three areas to converge, approaching each other with tolerance and understanding, to achieve common goals.
