Project Summary |
The proposed project aims to examine the importance of creative economies in driving economic growth and job opportunities in the tourism sector in APEC economies. It will involve research, developing training materials, and a capacity building event to promote the development of creative industries in the context of tourism. The project will engage with stakeholders in both developed and developing economies, and collaborate with academic institutions to ensure their involvement. Completion is expected within a year and a half, and involves close work with APEC committees, relevant government agencies, industry associations, and other stakeholders. The goal is to foster understanding and support for creative economies in the tourism sector, and identify strategies to promote their development.

Relevance |
Issues: The project aims to address the lack of awareness and understanding of the potential of creative economies for the future of tourism in the APEC region. This includes the need to promote the development of the creative industries and the role of different professions related to creative economies in the tourism sector. By promoting and supporting the development of creative economies, the project seeks to create sustained benefits for economies in the APEC region. Eligibility and Fund Priorities: The project meets the eligibility criteria of the General Project Account (GPA) and its priorities: (i) reconnecting the region, (ii) promoting inclusive and sustainable growth, (iii) building a resilient and interconnected region that advances broad-based economic prosperity, (iv) enabling an innovative environment for a sustainable and creative future, and (v) affirming an equitable and inclusive future for all. Capacity Building: The proposed project aligns with APEC's operational principles for capacity building by being a long-term initiative that aims to promote the development of creative economies in the tourism sector, needs and opportunities driven, and has internal and regional replicability. It emphasizes innovation, iterative processes, inclusiveness, enabling impacts, cost-effectiveness, and results-based programming. The project also seeks to collaborate with other relevant regional and global institutions and aligns with key APEC policies, goals, and objectives including developing member economies such as Indonesia (which has a Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economies), Australia, Chile, China, Russia, Singapore, the USA, Viet Nam and more. |
Objectives |
Support APEC's mission of promoting economic growth and integration by exploring the potential of creative economies in the tourism sector. By enhancing the visitor experience and promoting sustainable tourism strategies, the project seeks: 1) to showcase the critical role of creative industries in the future of tourism and, 2) to examine the ways in which they can drive economic growth, innovation, and job creation highlighting the perspectives of individuals in related fields, such as design, arts, crafts, music, foodways and content creators, to support the APEC’s Putrajaya Vision 2040 & Aotearoa Plan of Action. |
Alignment |
Alignment to APEC: Firstly, the project supports the APEC Connectivity Blueprint, which emphasizes the importance of facilitating the movement of people and goods through the implementation of policies that promote sustainable tourism and connectivity. The project's focus on creative economies in the tourism industry contributes to the development of sustainable tourism and supports the goal of promoting sustainable economic growth in the region. Secondly, the project supports the APEC Services Competitiveness Roadmap, which aims to increase the competitiveness of service industries in the APEC region. By highlighting the importance of creative industries in the tourism sector, the project can contribute to the development of competitive and innovative service industries in the region aligned to 2022 Leaders Declaration (N° 9). Finally, the project's focus on gender equality in creative industries of the tourism sector can support APEC's goal of promoting inclusive and sustainable growth and La Serena Roadmap. Alignment to Forum: The project aligns with the priorities of the APEC Tourism Working Group (TWG) to focus on the safe resumption of cross-border travel and sustainable tourism. The project aims to support the TWG's priorities by promoting the use of creative economies to stimulate and recover the tourism sector in the Asia-Pacific region. The project directly aligns with APEC 2023's Host Economy's priority of building a resilient and interconnected region that advances broad-based economic prosperity, particularly in the area of Restarting Cross-Border Travel. Additionally, the project contributes to the implementation of Putrajaya Vision 2040, the APEC Connectivity Blueprint, and the La Serena Roadmap for Women and Inclusive Growth, as it promotes sustainable tourism and economic empowerment of women and girls. Based on the strategic plan to 2024, the project also aligns to actions related to digital transformation (data visualization through graphics, interaction and design), human capital development (incorporation of creative and cultural industries studies on travel and tourism-related areas) and sustainable and inclusive economic tourism growth (People Living with Disability (PLWD) tourists and women’s and young’s empowerment in the travel and tourism industry). |

Risks |
| No. | Risks | How will it be managed? | | 1 | Difficulty in finding a consultant to develop the project | PO will be requested to invite consultants to apply, in addition to sharing it with all APEC economies to have a list that allows evaluating candidates based on their experience. | | 2 | Confusing responses in the APEC economies' survey. | The survey will be designed in a simple and understandable format. If participation remains unsatisfactory in any way, the PO will report this situation to the TWG Program Director and request TWG delegates to recirculate the survey. If this does not yield the desired results, the PO will establish direct communication with delegates requesting their cooperation in completing the survey. Direct contact with all APEC economies to obtain their support and response to the survey | | 3 | Duplication of tasks with other APEC sub-forums or international organizations. | Preliminary work has already been done to identify that there is no duplication, as this project aims to showcase the critical role of creative industries in the future of tourism and examine the ways in which they can drive economic growth, innovation, and job creation highlighting the perspectives of individuals in related fields, such as design, art, crafts, music, foodways, entertainment and content creation, for men and women. | | 4 | Delays or setbacks in the execution of activities to meet deliverables. | In this regard, constant communication will be maintained with the consultant to monitor and track the progress of each activity. | | 5 | Low acceptance of economies to adopt the research paper and handbook of training materials | There will be a virtual meeting to explain the project's objective and the benefits of applying them to the reality of each APEC economy for decision-making and future projects related to the creative economy and the future of tourism. This activity includes the joint promotion of the handbook with the academic sector (professors, students, researchers), innovation labs, incubators, and other public sectors related to the creative economy. | | 6 | Constant changes in the human team of economies due to the COVID-19 pandemic or other disease, which may delay the fulfillment of the schedule. | A database of participating economies will be created with at least 3 representatives to contact if the first representative is no longer involved. If the situation is critical, the event will be held in virtual platforms | |

Linkages |
The project is designed to foster strong linkages with other APEC fora and relevant organizations. Through active engagement, we aim to collaborate with fora such as the Small and Medium Enterprises Working Group (SMEWG), and the Digital Economy Steering Group (DESG), among others. The project will ensure cross-fertilization of ideas and is aligned with ongoing initiatives. Additionally, there is an engagement with other relevant organizations such as the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) to leverage their expertise and share knowledge. Some stakeholders might be FabLabs and FabCity from Fab Foundation, researchers, creators and innovators from the maker movement, digital companies such as Meta, Tiktok, OpenAI and Netflix, CES, SXSW and all entities working on creative economies and supporting connection between people. The collaboration will be promoted through communication and sharing lessons learned, besides methodologies and concepts that can be applied by tourism organizations. The project builds on and avoids duplication of previous and ongoing APEC initiatives. There has been a review of existing APEC projects, publications, and initiatives related to the impact of creative economies on the tourism sector. This includes aligning the project with relevant initiatives led by international organizations such as UNWTO and OECD. APEC is the best source of funds for this project due to its unique comparative advantage in promoting regional economic integration and cooperation. APEC provides a platform for fostering dialogue, sharing best practices, and facilitating policy coordination among member economies. With its diverse membership from across the Asia-Pacific region, APEC offers a unique opportunity to address common challenges and leverage the collective expertise of its stakeholders. The project aligns with APEC's strategic goals and priorities, making it an ideal fit for APEC funding. By leveraging APEC's network and resources, we can maximize the project's impact and ensure its sustainability beyond the project duration. |
Sustainability |
The project is committed to ensuring social, economic, and environmental sustainability beyond the APEC funding period. Socially, the project will focus on building strong networks and partnerships with relevant stakeholders, including government agencies, academic institutions (professors, students, researchers), creative industry associations, tourism practitioners, FabLab and FabCity network, makerspaces, incubators, accelerators and influencers from social networks and new media. These networks will provide a platform for ongoing collaboration, knowledge sharing, and support, enabling beneficiaries to continue implementing and disseminating the results and lessons learned from the project. Additionally, social networks will be explored to promote the project's outcomes and the implications of the creative economy in the future of tourism. By leveraging the reach and influence of social networks, the project aims to engage a wider audience and foster continued awareness and advocacy for the integration of creative economies in the tourism sector. Economically, the project will support beneficiaries in translating the project's outcomes into sustainable business practices and policy frameworks. Capacity-building initiatives, training programs, and access to resources will be provided to help beneficiaries integrate creative economies into their tourism strategies. By strengthening the economic viability of creative industries within the tourism sector, the project will create opportunities for job creation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth. Environmentally, the project will also emphasize the importance of the economy of creativity with a focus on the circular economy, digital transformation and the inclusion of non-human actors (nature). Through the development of best practice guidelines, policy recommendations, and digital training materials, the project will promote green approaches to tourism that minimize negative impacts on natural resources and cultural heritage. By encouraging sustainable tourism practices, the project aims to contribute to the preservation and conservation of the environment for future generations with a planet-focused mindset. To ensure the continuation of project outcomes, the project will facilitate knowledge transfer and provide ongoing support to beneficiaries. Capacity-building programs, online and in-person workshops, talks, and mentoring initiatives will be organized to equip beneficiaries with the necessary skills and resources to carry forward the results and lessons from the project. Additionally, monitoring and evaluation mechanisms will be established to track progress on the project's outcomes. Regular assessments, progress reports, and feedback loops will enable stakeholders to measure the effectiveness of the project, identify areas for improvement, and take necessary actions to ensure the long-term sustainability of the project's impact. |
