Abstract

European cities today need to confront the challenges of the current socio economic changes. In this framework the role of city marketing becomes essential especially during the socio economic crisis. City marketing is important because it is related to procedures connected with city global competition, tourist attraction, urban management, urban government and the special identity of cities (city branding). Many European cities take initiatives either creative or innovative to improve their competitiveness through cultural and tourism development/growth. Further, the majority of applied city marketing policies concern the culture and tourism. City marketing have encounter criticism like a)replace urban planning, b) emphasis on profit, c) emphasis on tourism attraction, d) regenerate socio geographical inequalities. In Greece only recently city marketing has been developed while even more new phenomenon is the process of field studies. The first case study is the Pilot Strategic Planning of City Marketing in Nea Ionia Magnisia which is part of the CultMark programme “Cultural heritage, local identity and place marketing for sustainable development” (contacted under INTERREG IIIc in five European locations during 2004-2006 (Nea Ionia, Magnisia (leader partner), UK, Kainou/Finland, Rostok-TLM/Germany and Pafos/Cyprus. Museums are one of the top/main categories of cultural locations which contribute to the cultural and tourism development of cities. Cities benefit from the existence of museums in specific ways but in order to work effectively it is necessary to be promoted in an organized way and with a strategic perspective which will be implemented by a Strategic Pilot Marketing Plan. A second case study is the unique Museum of Tobacco in Kavala, Greece. The scope of it is to show how the museum could contribute as a unique “tourism and cultural good/product to reinforce the city image and its development under a Strategic Marketing Plan for the city with main axe the Museum. This paper uses data from recent primary field studies contacted on enterprises, citizens of the city and visitors in order to form a strategic frame in which the (intrinsic) promotion of the Museum will work effectively on the general development of the Museum and the city of Kavala.
