INTRODUCING THE PROJECT RESULTS

To find solutions on how to make regions more attractive to tourist 13 partners from Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, and Slovenia have joined forces in the INSiGHTS project - Integrated, Slow, Green and Healthy Tourism Strategies co-financed by the European Regional Fund and the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance.

Project partners tested the viability of tools and methods jointly elaborated in the frame of the 3 Thematic pillars, which represent new and innovative solutions in the less developed regions involved in the project within the Danube macro-region. The novel solutions were tested by the project partners during the pilot actions. The Final Brochure, providing information on the main achievements and results of INSiGHTS, is available on the project's webpage.
