The main goal of the event is to promote sites and destinations of great archaeological value to facilitate marketing, to help create de-seasonalization, to increase economic opportunities and employment effects. The Exchange is the only event in the world where this extraordinary section of cultural heritage can meet professional business, travelers, enthusiasts and schools.

The Exchange highlights the fundamental role played by cultural heritage not only towards intercultural dialogue, social integration of citizens, but also as an economic growth factor. For this reason, the event promotes peoples’ co-operation by sharing and exchanging experience with Mediterranean and Middle East countries.
