Our first meeting with Alfredo Conti was in 2008, possibly in August. A few months earlier, at the beginning of May, we had been visited in Buenos Aires by Bernard Morucci, a professor at the Sorbonne University and coordinator of the global network of UNESCO Chairs on Culture, Tourism, and Development, to deliver a seminar organized by our newly established UNESCO Chair.
Morucci, a global advocate for the importance and value of heritage in tourism, encouraged us to create a postgraduate program to provide specialized training for professionals with this focus in Argentina and the region.
A year earlier, in March 2007, within the impressive setting of Villa Ocampo, then UNESCO Director-General Koïchiro Matsuura had signed the act establishing the UNESCO Chair of Cultural Tourism in Argentina, alongside the heads of the two institutions that, since then, have continuously brought it to life: the National University of Tres de Febrero and the Friends Association of the National Museum
of Fine Arts.
With the mission of strengthening, through education and awareness, a virtuous alliance between heritage and tourism, this Chair was launched, pioneering its field in Latin America.
