Culture and Development

The contribution of culture to the economy is not always well understood or appreciated. Yet the Americas' extraordinary cultural diversity provides ample sources to generate employment and wealth through cultural and creative industries, the making of art and crafts, cultural tourism, and through a marriage of artistic and cultural content and interactive and multimedia technologies. In order to build a stronger argument on how culture promotes social and economic development, good data must be collected, analyzed and then disseminated and discussed with different stakeholders such as policy makers; financing authorities and the general public.
