stone narratives
One possibility for further research is to clarify the effect of mosaic construction on
individuals (e.g. adults, children) and groups (e.g. group cohesion, dynamics, team-build-
ing outcomes). It would be particularly interesting to explore the states of mind and brain
centers activated during the entire mosaic construction process. Special attention should be
paid to the identification of appropriate research methods in order to obtain relevant and
reliable results. Furthermore, special attention should be paid to the identification of po-
tential commercial niches, where new dimensions of the mosaic could be implemented in
practice (e.g., work with children with special needs, creative and spa tourism). In recent
years creative tourism has increasingly become the focus of attention in the field of tour-
ism. The integration of creativity and tourism has led to a specific form of creative tourism
where people can develop their skills and creative potential in the co-creation and authen-
tic experience of culture.
