Description

Description (EN):

REVERS will reverse the negative impact on protected locations, 3 rivers (Zrmanja-CRO, Krupa-CRO, Una - BIH & CRO) and 2 mountains (Crnopac-CRO & Lovćen-ME). The REVERS project area has high potential for further development of sustainable tourism and address its weaknesses. The common territorial challenge to be addressed by REVERS is the lack of a sustainable tourism model based on innovative, high-quality tourism products and services. REVERS aims to revolutionize tourism through enhancement of the role of culture and sustainable tourism while achieving economic development, social inclusion and social innovation in inland rural areas and areas under special protection. Many small towns and villages are still struggling to develop tourism sustainably and on the other hand protected areas need to place special effort into sustainable, ecological and long-term development. Historically, tourism in these areas has developed haphazardly, with no clear direction or coordination between local stakeholders. This is particularly true in the Adriatic region, where sustainable tourism opportunities are being missed due to a lack of strategic planning and multilevel cooperation REVERS aims to integrate tourism and environmental protection policies in inland protected areas. The ecotourism package will minimize negative impacts on the environment, economy, and community. This is crucial to preserve valuable natural areas where various forms of tourism occur. The project will research the combined negative impacts of human activities on biodiversity, providing data for conservation efforts. REVERS will enhance tourism strengths sustainably, foster stakeholder collaboration, and create sustainable employment opportunities. The project emphasizes inclusive tourism development, involving local communities in valorizing their culture and natural assets. It will utilize tools like the REVERS HUB, mobile app, and joint policies to achieve long-term competitiveness and sustainability. Through REVERS, PPPs will form partnerships for enriching areas and promoting sustainable development, increasing tourism flows to protected areas. REVERS main outputs are: o.1.1.REVERSE workgroup created o.2.1. Eco_Cult_Tourism product created o.2.2. Joint CBA Guiding solutions for Eco_Cult_Tourism improvement and sustainability One of the main outputs of the REVERS project will be the establishment of a dynamic and multidisciplinary REVERSE workgroup. This collaborative team will comprise local stakeholders, environmental experts, and tourism enthusiasts, who will come together to spearhead the project's mission. The REVERSE workgroup will play a pivotal role in devising strategies and action plans for the harmonious integration of tourism and environmental protection in the region's inland protected areas. A significant milestone in the REVERS project will be the successful creation of an innovative Eco_Cult_Tourism product. This cutting-edge concept will be carefully designed to highlight the region's natural heritage, culture, and distinctive assets. The product will offer responsible and immersive travel experiences to tourists, encouraging a profound appreciation for the environment and fostering meaningful interactions with the local community. By promoting sustainable tourism practices, the Eco_Cult_Tourism product will significantly contribute to the region's economic growth and preservation efforts. The REVERS project will facilitate a collaborative effort among various stakeholders to develop Joint CBA Guiding solutions for Eco_Cult_Tourism improvement and sustainability. These comprehensive solutions will be aimed at fostering eco-friendly practices and responsible tourism within the region's cross-border area. Through shared insights and mutual commitment, the stakeholders will formulate effective strategies for promoting sustainable tourism growth while safeguarding the natural and cultural treasures of the area. These guiding solutions will become instrumental in shaping the region's tourism landscape and will serve as a model for other destinations seeking to achieve similar sustainable tourism goals. REVERS operates in cooperation areas with common characteristics, challenges, and cultures, facilitating trust and smooth collaboration. A national/regional or local level approach would not provide tools to support governance with the same potential for European impact. The project's crossborder approach is more effective for two main reasons: 1) greater effectiveness and stability of outputs, and 2) reduction of cultural, social, economic, and territorial disparities through the crossborder approach. REVERS will bring fruition the capitalization of previous experiences and projects (especially Made in Land and Una Spring of Life) by identifying and developing cultural and tourist itineraries that combine gastronomic peculiarities and natural and cultural heritage.

Actual Achievements (EN):

In the first reporting period, the REVERS project has started in making significant strides in integrating sustainable tourism with nature conservation. Through cross-border collaboration, project partners have strengthened their capacities in biodiversity protection while laying the foundation for innovative tourism initiatives aligned with environmental sustainability. A key achievement has been the initiation of joint biodiversity research and species monitoring. External experts have been contracted to conduct fieldwork (LP and PP4), which will generate critical data to support conservation strategies. To ensure effective coordination, the REVERS WORKGROUP was formally established during the Kick-off Meeting, bringing together representatives from all partner organizations to promote a unified approach to balancing tourism development with environmental protection. Progress has also been made on the development of the REVERS HUB, a central platform for promoting sustainable tourism and environmental awareness. The procurement process for expert contributions has started. Additionally, the Joint Action Plan and Marketing Plans have entered the development phase following the contracting of external experts. These strategic documents will help define the region’s tourism strategy, sustainability measures, and promotional activities in the upcoming periods. To enhance project visibility and stakeholder engagement, communication and outreach activities have been successfully launched. The Communication Strategy is now in place, and a mix of social media, regional TV, radio, newspapers, and online platforms has been utilized to raise awareness about project objectives. External expert for project video has also been contracted and has started with the work. The Kick-off Meeting in Bihać, held both in person and online, marked the official start of project activities and reinforced cooperation among partners. These early achievements provide a strong foundation for the project’s next phases, ensuring that sustainable tourism and nature preservation remain at the core of the REVERS project’s impact on the cross-border region. During this reporting period, the REVERS project made strong progress in biodiversity protection, sustainable tourism, and cross-border cooperation. PPs advanced activities under WP1 and WP2 , delivering concrete results and added value for the region. In PR2, NP Una (PP4), Natura Jadera (LP), and Old Royal Capital Cetinje (PP5) started biodiversity research across rivers, karst landscapes, and mountain trails. Activities included monitoring aquatic and terrestrial species, assessing ecosystem health, and evaluating human and climate pressures. This work generated new ecological data, including observations of rare species like the native crayfish Austropotamobius torrentium, and laid the foundation for future conservation measures. The REVERS Workgroup (RWG) met again in June–July 2025 with full partner participation. These meetings facilitated knowledge exchange, aligned activities, and strengthened collaboration. Partners contributed expertise, shared regional perspectives, and ensured outputs are relevant across all territories. The REVERS HUB (https://reverse-hub.web.app/home) is now fully operational, serving as a central platform for knowledge exchange, dissemination of results, and promotion of natural and cultural heritage. The project maintained active visibility through social media (Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, YouTube) and engaged the public in events such as “Poslušaj glas prirode” in Zadar and the Una River Regatta. PP2, PP4 and PP5 finalized a marketing plans. Through coordinated efforts, WP1 established scientific and organizational foundations for biodiversity protection and sustainable tourism, while WP2 ensured strong visibility and public engagement. Together, these achievements strengthen the region’s ability to safeguard natural heritage and promote sustainable development. Joint outreach, marketing, and the REVERS HUB highlight the collective benefits of working together across Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro.

Measure 4.2.7. An efficient and modern system of integral protection,
management and sustainable use of cultural heritage and areas in the
Cultural Development Program 2016–2020. , cultural heritage is recognized as an important factor of national identity and a long-term resource for
sustainable development. International standards require that special
attention be paid to the digitization of cultural heritage, for easier
accessibility, proper treatment and presentation. In this context, measures were also defined for the protection of areas in terms of the importance they have for the preservation of nature and biodiversity (strategic objective 3.1). It is necessary to intensify activities to protect the architecture of the 20th century and that from the socialist period, rural architecture, and I industrial buildings, etc. Localities on protected area require special
attention. On the other hand, the benefits of such a status should be used, primarily through valorization through tourism. Progress in meeting the aforementioned needs should be made possible through the achievement of the strategic goal of the NSDR by 2030 - Establishing an efficient and modern system of integral protection, management and sustainable use of cultural heritage and areas.
