The main goal of the ALTER TRIP project is to motivate transformation of a territory into an accessible and inclusive tourist destination and support the sustainable development of heritage tourism in the cross-border area, with the involvement and participation of the various agents of the tourist value chain that provide quality services to tourists with special needs.
Accessibility problems create difficulties for tourists with disabilities to enjoy equal benefits and services. Touristic services are not well organized for groups with special interests, while joint efforts to create attractive itineraries and common branding are missing. ALTER TRIP aims for
1) the creation of thematic touristic accessible itineraries for persons with reduced mobility in general and their families
2) the promotion and enhancement of natural and cultural heritage, as well as the networking and cooperation of stakeholders participating in touristic development.
3) to create a diversified touristic all- season product in the cross-border area
4) to foster other sectors of economy along with the touristic product including the environmental preservation, employment and entrepreneurship
5) to use ICT technologies in promoting touristic products directly to persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility in general and their families
