But how can these opportunities be organized in a way that enables the city and the enterprise to take advantage? This book analyses the conditions for successful industrial tourism development using case studies of Wolfsburg, Cologne, Pays de la Loire, Turin, Shanghai and Rotterdam, resulting in concrete recommendations for cities and companaies with ambitions in this field--Cover.
