(12/G/ENT/TOU/11/411B) Promotion of trans-national thematic tourism products in the European Union as means of sustainable tourism development
Deadline: 01/07/2011
This call aims at supporting and promoting cross-border and trans-national tourism routes/itineraries/trails, either physical or virtual, with a view of being able to contribute, directly or indirectly, to a more sustainable tourism industry (e.g. spreading local cultures and traditions, promoting emerging destinations "off the beaten tracks", reducing CO2 emissions caused by the tourism industry, etc.)
The specific objectives are:
- to promote and increase visibility of different transnational tourism products - such as routes/itineraries/trails, either physical or virtual - focused on thematic aspects. These could include: cultural heritage itineraries, cycling routes, greenways, protected natural sites, health and wellbeing (including spa tourism), educational, wine and food, historical, sport tourism, religious tourism, agri-tourism, rural tourism, or tourism capitalising on the maritime and sub-aquatic cultural heritage, industrial heritage or the economic fabric of a region (the list is not exhaustive).
- to contribute to the promotion and development of a sustainable and responsible tourism offer.
- to facilitate the exchange of information on and coordination of such trans-national activities.
