Corporative Cultural Responsibility in the tourism sector project
Corporate Cultural Responsibility (CCR) is the active and voluntary contribution to the cultural sector by firms, that generally aimed to improve competitive advantages and an added value.
It is complementary to the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) because sometimes culture can be included within the framework of the social purposes. It should also be noted that cultural enterprises and institutions can also promote CSR.

Collaborative tourism is here
Creating an important offer of cultural and creative experiences
for citizens and tourists
La crisis y el elevado IVA cultural han acabado con muchas salas, galerías y establecimientos culturales, por eso Cultura a Casa, imitando las iniciativas de otras ciudades ha trasladado este tipo de eventos a casas particulares, donde puede verse un concierto, exposición de arte, obra de teatro, clases de cocina, cuentacuentos. Tan solo hay que entrar en la web (www.culturaacasa.org) reservar y quedar en un lugar para ir al domicilio indicado.
