        What are the CulturalRealms®?

           CulturalRealm® is a tourism product, that encompasses all potential and existing resources of
           cultural, creative and heritage experiences (cultural landscapes, cultural corridors, routes,
           monuments and sites, museums, etc) grounded in a specific geography (country, region, city)
           or within a specialized tourism segment - history heritage, archaeology, gourmet and wine, etc..


           The result is a complete market-ready product to be used by DMOs, municipalities, regions,
           countries, tour operators and cultural institutions. Once created, the CulturalRealm® is custom
           branded, positioned, marketed to the global market.

           tourism division of Vizantia Enterprises Inc. through a very simple and effective 12 step process.
