From Ancient Maritime Routes to eco-touristic destinations

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Adriatic - Ionian

Date of latest update: 2024-11-23

Description

Description (EN):

Involved territories are characterized for having hosted in the past ancient harbors who have been always considered marginal to cities’ development, thus scarcely attractive for visitors. The common territorial challenge faced by the project is then that ancient harbor sites have a high but unused potential for economic growth as ecotourism destinations, especially off-season and are also characterized by an insufficient involvement of community actors in cultural heritage valorization. APPRODI main objective is to promote and valorize cultural heritages in ADRION area by enhancing management and promotion of ancient harbors sites as touristic destinations and by improving the involvement of local communities. 5 pilot sites will be valorized as new potential destinations by applying innovative techniques, such as geo-archeological investigations (Ortona, Durazzo, Dubrovnik) whose findings will be exposed in Museums exhibitions or zero impact and zero infrastructures solutions for an innovative coastal and lagoon archaeological park (Torcello, Venice). Awareness raising actions and thematic events will be implemented inviting commercial operators and key stakeholders to promote new destinations and to include them in existing touristic circuits. In addition to the 5 small scale investments pilot tests, project main outputs will include: a joint strategic plan for the promotion of valorized touristic destinations, training to professionals of the touristic sector and unemployed young people as an encouragement of business and trade development based on cultural heritage, the network of “ANCIENT ADRION PORTS City” to strengthen the relations amongst the involved cities through a consolidated community that will be enlarged to other existing ancient harbors located in the ADRION area. APPRODI aims then at a qualitative change in the nature of tourism demand with a transnational approach and at increasing visibility of the valorized new destinations.

Expected Results (EN): Level of capacity for the stakeholders in the fields of natural and cultural heritage protection and tourism to sustainably valorise natural and cultural heritage as a growth asset

Expected Outputs (EN):

The project shall be instrumental in un-tapping the business potential of transnational ancient harbors ecotourism as an unexplored economy segment in the ADRION area. Thanks to the project it is expected that more transnational visitors to the supported sites will be attracted and thereby an extension of the overall season. Project activities are in fact specifically addressed at developing an integrated Joint Action Plan for the Sustainable ecotourism promotion of ADRION ancient harbors sites through direct and constant involvement of local/regional actors. The project aims also at reducing seasonality in tourism demand and at promoting environmentally friendly tourism, through the valorization of touristic destinations connected to the cultural heritage of the ADRION area. The project will define high-quality touristic destinations not being dependent upon weather conditions, helps reducing then the seasonality in tourism demand. Overall, the project will apply the instruments of capacity building, product/service development, marketing and networking. WPT1 will also scan the local needs with involved key stakeholders for defining the strategic plan for boosting the transnational ecotourism in the ancient harbors sites. Training course realized in T2.6 will also encourage the right conditions for growth, thereby providing professional development, training and increased employment opportunities. A joint online platform (WPT3) will be set up for the promotion of cultural heritage, stakeholders networking and joint project and cultural routes development as an umbrella portal for the branding of the touristic destinations as cross-marketing initiatives. Strengthened cross-sectoral network cooperation will help create a better mutual understanding of development needs and address the ecotourism challenges and development potentials in a harmonized manner. Market-attractive high quality ancient harbors sites are expected to be included in the holiday/recreation offer
