The document discusses how the CARARE project is putting cultural heritage sites onto online maps through Europeana. It notes that over 2 million heritage sites have been mapped, allowing virtual access and exploration. The maps can be used on desktops and tablets, and include links to related content on Europeana. Integrating cultural data with location information through maps supports tourism and local economies, as well as fueling developments in the creative industries.

Editor's Notes
- The industry has almost twice the export potential of IT and communications and four times the importance of music, media and fashion combined. PricewaterhouseCoopers senior economic advisor Andrew Sentence\\he estimated tourism, culture and heritage at 9% of GDP - the same as financial services and second only to business and professional services on 13%. IT, communications and software accounted for 5% and media, fashion and music for 2.5%.Tourism had taken on new importance, he said, because the economy would not return to its previous growth pattern.
