Using quantitative and qualitative data tailored for this research, we will review the main challenges the food industry is currently facing. We will discuss its growth and the ways in which LAC restaurants can be strengthened as a core center where other creative industries can converge.
On the following pages we will study the potential of edutainment, focusing mainly on those tools, methods, and content from Cultural and Creative Industries (ICC) that foster innovation.

Music and Performing Arts: Digital Trends and Strategies is part of the IDB’s editorial series, Art, Culture and New Technologies in Latin America and the Caribbean, that aims at identifying the ways in which technology can drive innovation in the creative economy. The sector generates a multidimensional impact rarely analyzed from an economic perspective, considering them productive activities worthy of attention and promotion.
Cultural and creative sectors (CCS) constitute a vibrant economic activity and source of jobs, enterprise turnover and tax revenues. However, the role of culture for local development is more than these direct outputs. Smartly managed culture-led urban regeneration can breathe new life into decaying neighbourhoods. CCS also contribute to increasing levels of regional innovation and productivity, through new product design, new production techniques, new business models, innovative ways of reaching audiences and consumers, and emerging forms of co-production.
This discussion paper was prepared by the OECD at the request of Indonesia G20 Presidency to support the discussions in the G20 Tourism Working Group on 23 September 2022, and the G20 Tourism Ministers Meeting on 26 September 2022.
The OECD-ICOM Guide for Local Governments, Communities and Museums provides a self-assessment framework for i) Local and regional governments to assess and improve their approaches to maximise the social and economic value of cultural heritage as part of sustainable local development; and ii) museums to assess and strengthen their existing and potential linkages with the local economy and social fabric.
This case study considers the role of the MUSE network of museums for local development in the Autonomous Province of Trento, Italy. It considers the dimensions of local development featured in the OECD-ICOM Guide for Local Governments, Communities and Museums.
This Guide provides a roadmap for local governments, communities and museums on how to define together a local development agenda. It considers five dimensions: 1. Leverage the power of museums for local economic development, 2. Build on the role of museums for urban regeneration and community development, 3. Catalyse culturally aware and creative societies, 4. Promote museums as spaces for inclusion, health and well-being, 5. Mainstream the role of museums in local development.
