The Assessment Tour has started successfully on 16 July 2017! The international team of experts, comprised of a mobility expert (Andreas Friedwagner), a tourism expert (Dejan Veselinov) and the video team (Dušan Šaponja and Dušan Čavić) arrived just in time for the first destination of their journey, Ulm and Neu-Ulm (Germany).

The expert and video team will travel along the Danube by using only sustainable means of transport such as bikes, ships, trains and busses. This joint journey will provide the possibility to evaluate the opportunities to move to and between the Pearls and to experience the tourism and mobility offers in the destinations by relying on environmentally-friendly means of transport. The team will travel in two parts:

The first part (16 – 26 July) will be from Donaueschingen to Budapest.

The second part (23 August – 3 September) will be from Budapest to Danube Delta.

Detailed and continuous information on the itinerary, the visited touristic hotpots and personal impressions of the team are available on the Transdanube.Pearls Facebook page and on twitter.
