Abstract

The project we are going to define envisages cooperation initiatives to foster entrepreneurship and innovation in tourism initiatives, to improve the integrated accommodation system between wetlands and rural areas, to support the exchange of best practices between sustainable tourism models, to create a quality brand identifying the peculiarities of the initiatives. Enhancing the potentialities and peculiarities of non-urban rural areas is one of the objectives, by connecting the potentialities and the visibility of those areas. Tourism can play an important role in improving the attractiveness and well-being of places, not only as destinations to visit, but also to live, work and invest. More specifically, tourism can provide benefits for regional economies including diverse employment opportunities, support for the promotion of cultural authenticity and assets, opportunities for innovative small-scale business operations, and support for infrastructure-related development and maintenance.
