A cross-border path of faith and culture - Romea Strata
The project aims at valorise and protect the cross border territories, focussing on the historic religious itinerary called Romea Strata. Indeed a promotion strategy of the historic, religious, cultural and common heritage in Italy and Austria will be developed. Local communities will be involved through the endorsement of excellences related to handicrafts, nature, wine&food. The project partners: Schio Municipality, Udine Province, Pilgrimage Office-Vicenza diocese and Bildungshaus Osttirol will implement together a tourist cross border marketing based on user friendly ICT tools. For this reason, the competencies of the operators of the territories will increase, thus letting to an employment growth and an increase of tourist flows in the involved areas. 

Partners, who are strongly motivated, will jointly develop all project activities, thus obtaining sustainable and replicable results even beyond the project end. Indeed, the project network will be strengthened by extending it to new partners, while the web site and social network pages will be updated with news and events to promote the itinerary continuosly. Eventually, the investment on the signals will guarantee the longlasting visibility of the project itinerary, whereas the benefits of the tourist flow increase and the improved cultural transnational identity will be clearer after a while.
