THE PROJECT
Promoting Accessible and Sustainable Tourism for Future P.A.S.T.4Future
Programma Interreg IPA CBC Italia – Albania – Montenegro
P.A.S.T.4Future is an European project financed by INTERREG – IPA CBC ITALY ALBANIA MONTENEGRO. The project addresses the main challenges of internal and rural areas with the aim of:
- create new tourist destinations by promoting natural and cultural heritage;
- support the diversification, customization, integration and specialization of local tourism services and offers, focusing on accessibility and sustainability;
- improve the knowledge on the new trends in the tourism market and on the marketing skills of SMEs and local communities to promote tourism based on the experience of “new communities”;
- propose smart systems capable of promoting tourism marketing at the international level.
Specifically, the project aims to create a new Tourist Destination based on Accessible and Sustainable Cross-border Community, capable to increase the tourist incoming, in particular of people with special needs (e.g. families with children, disabled people or people with temporary disabilities, elderly, people with special medical needs, people with food intolerances, etc.) and consequently to promote the naturalistic, environmental, historical and cultural heritage, stimulating an intelligent and sustainable economic development in the entire cross-border area. This will ensure that Accessible and Sustainable tourism acts as a driving force for the development of internal/rural cross-border areas.
Through the project operators, various points of interest (museums, castles, archaeological sites, itineraries…) and accommodation facilities (accommodation facilities, bars, restaurants…) accessible and sustainable have been identified and surveyed. Therefore, on the basis of different levels of disability (motor, visual, auditory, families and elderly) we intend to present and promote an itinerary for tour operators in the sector (Educational) thus entering an operational phase. The objective of the Educational tour is to introduce the Apulian territory, made up of typicality and unique places, promoting to the public and to new possible users both the structures that meet the requirements for different disabilities and the various accessible and sustainable points of interest.
