The University of Girona and the Patronat de Turisme agree to carry out a study of the Graphic Image of the Costa Brava
On the occasion of the Centenary of the Costa Brava, the University of the Costa Brava and the Patronat de Turisme signed a collaboration agreement in October 2009 to promote research work on the graphic image of the Costa Brava, focusing on aspects such as how it has been publicised through posters and tourism leaflets. The study, which is being carried out by a team of researchers led by the university lecturer Dolors Vidal and the curator Antoni Monturiol, will be published in the summer of 2010 in a digital catalogue.
The monographic work will compile the posters that have been used to promote the Costa Brava tourism brand. Through the posters and leaflets it is possible to analyse which towns were the first to promote themselves and how the view of this area has changed over the years.
