Implementation

Key Conditions for Success

Key conditions are in providing the traditional and authentic charm of the area with new modern approaches. The whole territory is known for warm hospitallity and great food, so the tourist is feel like at home. The important fact is to give the toursit an offer that he will stay in the region (area) for longer time, meaning that everyone in the area will benefit from it (hotels, restaurants, touristic areas, herritages,...). The success is to have new modern approaches so that tourist are able to find the offer online and over modern technologies.

Key Steps for Activity Implementation

Key steps are connected with making a common brand, meaning that tourist feels the same and is treated the same everywhere he goes. This is done by implementing set of activities, from visual apperance to set of rules which are followed by everyone. All this is done through education and workshop. Another important aspect is also to promote the brand and area over modern technologies (mobile, web, social media).

Difficulties Encountered

Main difficulties are connected on how to teach the providers to start using also modern approaches. Especially to old traditional toursim providers, new modern technologies represent an issue and burden. Within the project we devoted time to them in order to present them the ways on how to easily use modern approaches and how to be digitally connected.

Resources Needed

Main resources needed are in form of people working with providers to have them all connected under one umbrella (brand KULTNATURA). Building their knowledge and creating a common approach to the tourist. On other hand also some small investments were done on some specific areas in order to accpet the tourists and give them warm hospitality in the area.
