HOW WE MET

A common challenge that brought us together

We gathered around a common challenge in the cross-border area - the lack of cultural tourism manifestations that would enrich the tourism-offer and increase its attractiveness out of high season.

Moreover, the tourism contents of heritage sites are underdeveloped, there is a lack of cooperation between heritage operators and tourism stakeholders, and lack of heritage management know-how and best practices exchange among heritage operators.

How we met

The First Meeting

We agreed on the need to develop and promote
new joint cultural events.

„The events will increase the attractiveness of fortified sites and increase the number of tourists in the area.

We will be strengthening and diversifying the tourist offer in programme area using a cross-border approach in sustainable fortified heritage tourism development in order to intensify and stimulate faster tourism growth in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
