["BGTR0200100","Maritsa Timeless Journey","The main challenge addressed by the project with acronym Times the seasonality and lack of year-round tourism in the cross-border area of Bulgaria and Turkey. Both countries experience significant fluctuations in tourist arrivals, with peak visitation during specific periods, particularly centered around the summer months. This creates economic dependency on these specific periods, leading to financial challenges for tourism-related businesses and reduced employment opportunities during the off-peak seasons. Additionally, the concentration of tourists during peak seasons strains local infrastructure, impacts the visitor experience, and puts pressure on cultural sites and natural areas. The overall objective of the “Maritsa Timeless Journey” project is to unlock the region's year-round tourism potential, drive sustainable economic growth, and improve regional competitiveness, supporting digital tourism transformation. The project aims to achieve this by developing and implementing a pilot year-round tourism product named “Maritsa Timeless Journey”. This tourism product will be based on the common historical heritage of Bulgaria and Turkey, focusing on the Maritsa River Trade Route and the cultural diversity of the cross-border region. By creating an all-season tourism product, the project seeks to reduce the dependency on peak seasons, enhance the region's attractiveness to tourists throughout the year, and generate sustainable economic benefits for local communities. The project will produce several key outputs: Current repair, renovation, and revitalization of the History Museum \"Prof. Alexander Fol\" in Malko Tarnovo, providing an enriched cultural attraction for visitors; Establishment of a \"City Archive\" digital center in Edirne, serving as a scientific tourism and educational hub; Restoration and conservation of \"Izvora na Belonogata\"/\"Gerganina chesma\" in Harmanli, preserving a significant natural heritage site; Development of a joint solution for boosting year-round cross-border tourism, encouraging collaborative efforts between Bulgaria and Turkey; Pilot development of the year-round labeled tourism product \"Maritsa Timeless Journey,\" serving as a model for integrated all-season tourism; Production of a promotional film \"Maritsa Timeless Journey,\" raising awareness and promoting the region as a year-round destination. The beneficiaries of the project outputs include local communities, tourists, cultural institutions, educational institutions, and tourism-related businesses in the cross-border area. The cross-border approach is essential for the success of the project because it aims to address the common challenge of seasonality and year-round tourism in the region. By collaborating between Bulgaria and Turkey, the project partners will pool their resources, expertise, and cultural heritage to develop a joint solution for integrated tourism development – a common methodology for standrardization of year-round tourism labeling. The cross-border approach facilitates the sharing of best practices, the exchange of knowledge, and the promotion of cultural diversity, resulting in a more comprehensive and impactful year-round tourism product. The uniqueness of the \"Maritsa Timeless Journey\" project lies in its focus on turning the region's diverse cultural heritage and history into a valuable asset. Instead of trying to overcome the differences between Bulgaria and Turkey, the project capitalizes on these differences and creates a joint tourism product based on the shared history and the Maritsa River Trade Route. This approach ensures the preservation and promotion of the unique cultural heritage of the region while fostering sustainable tourism development.

["BGTR0300162","Driving Cross-Border Circular Pilot in Printed Circuit Board Production and Glass Processing","Programme area common challenge the project tackles is the need for improving sustainability and resource efficiency within the realm of 2 industries in Bulgaria-Türkiye CB region - manufacture of loaded electronic boards and glass processing. Environmental and resource-related challenges that need to be addressed are: \nManufacture of loaded electronic boards - printed circuit boards (PCBs) requires significant amounts of raw materials, incl. metals (copper, gold, silver), plastics, chemical additives and involves multiple energy-intensive stages (material extraction, fabrication, assembly, testing). PCB manufacturing generates significant amounts of waste, including trimmings, offcuts, and rejected boards. The disposal of obsolete or end-of-life PCBs contributes to e-waste accumulation, which is a challenge for recycling and proper disposal. Disposal of PCBs, either through landfilling or incineration releases hazardous substances into the environment. Addressing these challenges requires integrated environmental approach as adopting cleaner production technologies, promoting resource efficiency and recycling, fostering collaboration across the industry to drive innovation and best practices.\nGlass processing, incl. cutting, shaping, and finishing, also has several environmental and resource-related challenges. It requires significant energy inputs during heating and shaping stages, which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Glass processing techniques as cutting and polishing require water for cooling and lubrication, which may strain local water resources and contribute to water pollution if not properly managed and treated. Glass processing methods involve the use of chemicals for cleaning, etching, coating and improper handling and disposal of these chemicals leads to soil and water contamination, posing risks to human health and ecosystems. Glass processing generates various types of waste, including offcuts, trimmings, scrap glass, which may end up in landfills if not recycled or reused, contributing to the depletion of landfill space and environmental pollution. Addressing these challenges requires technological innovations and industry best practices as improving energy efficiency, optimizing water usage, implementing pollution prevention measures, promoting recycling and circular economy principles, and adopting cleaner production technologies.\nTo address these challenges, Hedy Computers EOOD and AÇIKGÖZ CAM ve PENCERE SİSTEMLERİ developed the project “HEAC Pilot” which overall objective is to implement innovative circular economy practices in the production processes of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and glass processing within the CB context. This involves developing and piloting sustainable, resource-efficient and circular approaches that minimize waste generation, promote material reuse and recycling, and enhance the environmental sustainability of these industries across borders. Through collaborative efforts and knowledge exchange between the partners, the project aims to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of circular economy principles in PCB production and glass processing, ultimately contributing to the transition towards more sustainable and resilient manufacturing practices.\nThe proposed technological investments in the 2 enterprises in the CB region will optimize resource use, minimize environmental impact, facilitate the implementation of sustainable production practices. LP1 will develop and launch a production line for PCBs including recycling, PP2 will develop and launch an automated glass processing line connected to the cutting process. \nMain project outputs: 1) supported main economic activities of 2 enterprises in the CB region by investing in resource-efficient production technologies; 2) Re-shaped first stage of glass processing to reduce waste generated and increase the life of the final product through increased capacity - 120 pieces of tempered finished mixed glass production per hour from the initial production quantity of 25 pieces/hour); 3) replaced virgin material with \"secondary raw material\" - PCBs production using materials from old PCBs); 4) prolonged life of PCBs that otherwise will be disposed - repair of PCBs; 5) waste reduction - old PCBs will not be discharged as waste, they will be used in new production. \nThe key components of project collaborative approach are: CB Collaboration between the 2 companies from BG and TR to leverage expertise, share resources, foster synergies for achieving common sustainability goals; open dialogue and collaboration to accelerate the adoption of sustainable technologies and practices across the region; pilot actions to showcase best practices for enhancing product durability and resource efficiency.

Tourism is a major economic industry in the CBregion and we want to contribute to the development of its various forms - alternative,rural,ecological,adventure,etc.\n\nThe implementation of measures for the development of the tourism industry in places slightly affected by man must simultaneously contribute to the protection of nature and the well-being of the local population. The CBregion is rich in natural features with great biodiversity, in which nature has impressive dimensions, national parks and local communities that have preserved their traditions. Offering a set of similar tourism practices dominated by communication with nature and active participation with a certain physical commitment for tourists (walking, cycling, riding, etc.) is our first important emphasis. Our second important emphasis is the promotion of rural and agritourism. These varieties of alternative tourism are an important potential for the development of the CBregion. Attracting visitors to the region of the created route will stimulate the initiative of farmers in the field of tourism,retention of the population in rural areas and their revival will be achieved. The possibility to provide a stay in a rural environment (house or other accommodation),contact with the hosts, access to the farm is a service that tourists expect. These activities are usually complemented by various types of cultural tourism (visiting monasteries, museums, archaeological and other sights, crafts school). In general, a profitable tourism product should be a mixture of all these. The combination of different types of tourism is an important element for the sustainable development of various services in the CBregion.\n\nAchieving sustainable economic growth in the CBregion is real when analyzing the evolution in the tourism sector, which is aligned on the one hand with the interests of the hosts and on the other the visitors.

["BGTR0200074","Introducing low-carbon tourism in the CBC area of Bulgaria and Turkiye","Project aims to address several common territorial challenges in the Programme area, while also leveraging opportunities to promote sustainable and inclusive development. These challenges create opportunities for the project to contribute to the development of the cross-border region and promote territorial cohesion. Instead of merely overcoming impediments, the project seeks to strengthen and expand low-carbon tourism practices as a model solution for sustainable development and increased competitiveness in the region. Among the challenges addressed is the underdeveloped year-round tourist infrastructure where limitations are faced and this hinders the full potential of the CBC area as a tourist destination. Sustainable tourism practices such as the low-carbon tourism are needed to protect the region's environment and natural heritage. The project's efforts to strengthen the competitiveness of the local economy, especially through the tourism sector, contribute to economic diversification. \nThe overall objective of project \"Introducing low-carbon tourism in the CBC area of Bulgaria and Turkiye\" - Low-carbon CBC is developing and implementing integrated solutions for low-carbon tourism in the cross-border region of Kirklareli Province, Harmanli and Svilengrad municipalities, along with applying joint efforts of the partners for reduction of the carbon footprint of the tourism sector in the area.\nLow carbon tourism, also known as sustainable or eco-friendly tourism, is a concept that aims to minimize the negative environmental impact of tourism activities. It focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving natural resources, and promoting local communities' well-being. The goal of low carbon tourism is to create a sustainable tourism industry that benefits both the environment and local economies. Key aspects and practices are transportation, accommodation, waste management, conservation and biodiversity, community engagement, education and awareness. By adopting low carbon tourism practices, destinations and stakeholders can reduce their environmental impact, conserve resources, protect natural and cultural heritage, and create more sustainable and resilient tourism industries. Within the current project PPs are joining their efforts by starting the development of a Low-Carbon CBC tourism route. This is envisaged through marking main points on the route where is a visible tourism potential but a sufficient popularity is not always acquired. The route is almost 260 km long with main points Haskovo - Harmanli – Svilengrad – Edirne – Kirklareli – Demirkoy – Igneada. Along with the utilization of the available natural and cultural assets PPs emphasize on construction of low-carbon tourism infrastructure and equipment, and on adding cultural assets for diversification of the existing attractions. Outputs targeted are: pilot actions for introduction of low-carbon tourism in the area through the development of the integrated tourism route and needed infrastructure and equipment for it (charging stations for electrical vehicles, supply of electrical bicycles and electrical scooters) in Kirklareli, Demirkoy and Harmanli, elaboration of an action plan for further introduction of the low-carbon tourism concept in the CBC area of Bulgaria and Turkiye in order the solution to be taken up (RCO84; RCO116; RCR104); construction of dedicated cycling infrastructure supported in Svilengrad – 1.2 km bicycle lane as attraction and opportunity for low-carbon transport for tourism (RCO58; RCR64; RCO74); 1 cultural and tourism site (Historical museum Harmanli) supported through Conservation, restoration and exposure of movable archaeological asset - an early-medieval pottery furnace (RCO58; RCR64; RCO74); carrying out 1 training and 1 joint seminar, organized by KCCI for the tourism business sector and organizations that can take up or upscale the developed solution. PPs plan to fully uptake the integrated and multi-sectoral approach, along with the “environmental sustainability by design” approach. Cross-border approach is a n integral part of the current project proposal as it recognizes the interconnectedness of neighboring regions and seeks to leverage this connectivity for mutual benefit and shared prosperity. By working together, PPs address the complex challenges more effectively, promote regional development, and foster peaceful and cooperative relationships where at the same time exchange good practices and experience. The project is new and original due to the essence of its partnership – wider, multi-sectoral, including regional and local authorities, cultural institutions and organizations representing the business for intoxication and application of a concept that is extremely accurate to the present time.  Low-carbon tourism is important for the sector as much as the tourism sector itself is important for the economic development of the area with focus on overcoming environmental challenges.","2025-06-27","2027-06-26","(VI-A_BG-TK_2) Integrated development of the cross-border region","RSO5.2.
