All these paths will be equipped with facilities such as rest areas, bike parking, information boards, benches, bins, picture frames, and interactive content for visitors. Furthermore, an offline mobile application will be developed, which will entail various multimedia content provided for tourists visiting these paths. Apart from that, 18 trainings on various relevant topics will be provided for tourist workers in the targeted cross-border area with the aim of developing new tourist offer based on principles of sustainable tourism. The project also foresees development of a cross-border document titled “Sustainable Tourism Destination Management Strategy“ and plans to create a set of recommendations to all project partners with the aim of improving their tourist offer.
