Successful meeting in Romania from 12th – 15th February 2018
|
The Hateg UNESCO Global Geopark in Romania had the chance to welcome the Danube GeoTour project partners. During the first days in the Hateg Geopark the partners had the possibility to be part of a joint GeoProduct training. Invited guest speakers from Romania and the Associated Strategic Partner Naturtejo Geopark from Portugal were giving interesting inputs for the development of GeoProducts. In addition, a field trip through the Hateg Geopark took place to discuss GeoInterpretation according to best practice examples. The project team would like to add many thanks to the organizers from Hateg including all their involved helpers and partners. The main project result will be a joint Danube GeoTour designed to strengthen cooperation between the Geoparks regions and act as an innovative tourism product to accelerate visibility and tourist visits in the geoparks.

- dishes and beverages served in a restaurant manner
- events with a traditional note,
- different tourist products (tourist package, workshop, tourist programme)
In 2018, all interested local providers will be able to attend a training programme about the development of local products. In this respect, Idrija Geopark will offer its expertise and evaluate for free entered products, which will be, based on the commission’s opinion, included in the Idrija Geopark offer. Together with product designers, they will prepare a concept for better visibility and recognisability of products, suggest a uniform visual image, and prepare a marketing and promotion plan for selected products in the Idrija Geopark.
