Silvia Aulet gave a keynote presentation at the FRH Conference in Vicenza on attracting visitors to religious heritage sites. She discussed how sacred sites must balance pilgrims with tourists in order to preserve culture and spirituality while also benefiting from tourism. Aulet provided several examples of religious sites in Catalonia that have successfully incorporated new technologies, contemporary art, and ecological practices to appeal to both pilgrims and tourists.
