Competence: Culture and World Heritage
ATC has worked since its foundation on improving the mutual understanding of culture and tourism, raising awareness among cultural institutions for a sustainable tourism industry to raise the funds needed for the upkeep of our cultural heritage on the one hand and for the need not to overstress the utilisation of cultural goods and thus threatening their very existence.
