Description
Description (EN): The project aims to create a comprehensive tourism product that will improve the development of tourism in the region. It will comprise local tourist trails featuring the monuments of Jewish heritage within the border areas of Poland, Ukraine and Belarus as well as a cross-border trail. Trilateral work on the collection of materials, preparation of the trails and publication of the guidebook will contribute to the creation of an institutional network within which efforts will be made to prepare the final catalogue of historic sites. Marking out trails and training of tourist guides will help to develop tourist services and launch tours along the trails. The publication of a guidebook in 4 languages will pave the way for individual tourism and provide ready-made sources on history and culture of the Jews. The creation of a platform for the exchange of knowledge in the form of the Internet database: “Shtetl Routes: Small Jewish Towns in Eastern Europe” will extend traditional forms of tourism promotion with multimedia tools, such as “virtual tours”. It will also be a source of up-to-date information on accommodation and food establishments, distances, means of transport and must-sees. Local communities will be activated by the possibility to use the portal in an interactive way and by networking with the local government
