INSiGHTS - Launching Conference of the project INSiGHTS

04-02-2017

We are pleased to invite you to the official launching conference of the project INSiGHTS (Integrated Slow, Green and Healthy Tourism Strategies) on 28 February 2017 starting at 9 am in the event centre Pikant Pajta, in Ferencmajor near Tata (Hungary).

Tourism in a green and healthy way? It is the only way!

How can we make regions more attractive to tourists in a green and healthy way?

The project INSiGHTS is about finding solutions for this question by developing tourism strategies, which not only make a region more attractive to tourists, but also protect its natural and cultural resources. Regions in INSiGHTS all have outstanding natural and cultural resources, and at the same time they have a great potential related to the fast-growing recreational trend of slow, green and healthy tourism.

What are the main outcomes of the project?

The development of eight integrated sustainable tourism strategies that will be developed by the partner regions and will be adaptable all across the Danube-region.           

Who will be present at the conference?

Representatives of partners, tourism experts of the partner regions and of the Slovak-Hungarian border area and other decision makers.

We are looking forward to meeting you there!
