Diversifying rural tourism

date:  25/09/2017

A transnational network of rural touristic ‘routes’ will promote hiking in European regions that have traditionally focused on mass tourism or, on the other hand, have benefited less from more traditional forms of international tourism.

Run by the Hiking Europe project, the initiative aims to internationally position local assets in Croatia, Ireland, Italy and Spain, and boost regional economic development through a joint promotional and commercial strategy.
