ADRIJOROUTES
ADRIJOROUTES (Promoting sustainable solutions for maritime cultural tourism) is a project funded by the Interreg Italy – Croatia cross-border cooperation Programme (2021-2027), focusing on the need to mitigate the environmental and social impacts of mass touristic flows in the programme area and to reduce the overwhelming dependence of the main Adriatic touristic destinations on massive coastal tourism, that put at risk the social and economic resilience of local communities.
ADRIJOROUTES overall objective is to boost the sustainability, social inclusiveness and digitalization of the touristic sector of the Adriatic area, by promoting sustainable touristic experiences based on cultural assets of at least 8 Adriatic ports. ADRIJOROUTES engages cultural and touristic actors of the programme area and beyond in the valorization of ports cultural assets as gateway for green and digital cultural destinations consistent with the social wellbeing of local communities. The involved ports are Rijeka, Zadar, Split, Dubrovnik, Trieste, Venice, Ravenna, Ancona. ADRIJOROUTES project focuses on three main sets of measures to achieve its objectives:
- The co-definition of a cross-border strategy and action plan
- The 7 co-developed ADRIJOUROUTES, composed of different experiences, physical and digital, of the involved ports and territories
