Culture, itineraries and sport: an integrated tourism supply for small cross-border villages
The project aims at ensuring an integrated tourist offer for small cross-border villages, by providing tourist packages according to an environment-friendly programme, focused on the enhancement of thematic paths such as Italian-Slovenian folk music concerts and performances, and travelling photo exhibitions on Italian-Slovenian traditions and musical instruments as well as naturalistic-cultural itineraries from the smaller centres of Friuli Venezia Giulia (Vivaro, Sequals, Travesio, Pinzano, Pielungo, Ragogna, Prato Carnico, Pulfero, San Pietro al Natisone) to Slovenia (Koper-Capodistria area). With regard to sport, a boxing tournament is organized in Vivaro, with Italian and Slovenian boxers. Project promotion, in its entirety, is carried out in cooperation with Udine’s AIAT (local tourist office), IAT - Pro Spilimbergo (Spilimbergo local tourist office), as well as with AIAS (Italian Association of Arts and Performances in Koper - Capodistria). “CULT.I.SPORT” also implements information initiatives that are useful to Italian and Slovenian operators in this sector, as well as educational trips and workshops. Special tourist offers will be promoted to attract potential customers/tourists, and two information offices will be opened in Spilimbergo and Koper-Capodistria. Lastly, the project entails the creation of a tourism web portal for smaller centres to ensure an organised approach to the management and promotion of the proposed tourist offer.
