Description

Description (EN):

Nikopol-Turnu Magurele region is characterized by remarkable natural and cultural heritage and landscape features. Nevertheless, poor accessibility to sites of cultural-historical importance, lack of attractions and integrated tourist products, services and promotion strategies lead to mismanaged tourism flows and usage conflicts. The project aims to improve the sustainable use of Nikopol-Turnu Magurele cross-border cultural heritage by developing, implementing and promoting an integrated joint approach for investing in sustainable tourism. The budget of the operation is 5 881 227.63 €<. The project envisages investments in tourist infrastructure, integrated tourism products and services, effective marketing, awareness raising and promotion interventions realized with the active involvement of local inhabitants and stakeholders, thus creating viable economic uses of cross-border cultural heritage and increasing the tourist visits and overnights. These objectives will be accomplished through construction works for restoring Turnu Magurele fortress, constructing Nikopol archeological park with access road to Cliff Church, 3 stakeholder workshops for developing 9 integrated tourist products/services, 1 joint marketing strategy, 1 joint information web portal and smartphone application, 8 info terminals, 2 clubs for historical restorations, 1 large-scale cross-border festival, online publicity and awareness raising campaign, information and publicity materials.
