Description
Description (EN): Italy, Greece, Poland, Hungary and Romania have, for their internal areas, common problems like high depopulation and unemployment but at the same time they are rich of natural, architectural and cultural patrimony that are not exploited in their full potentiality. Moreover, the lack of some infrastructures (with regard to the rest of the countries involved), the lack of a well organized promotion campaign of the areas and above all the lack of the young people risk to accelerate the process of "death" of the local traditions and production of traditional products and foods, as well as the weathering of architectural monuments with the loss of those peculiar identities which represent the richness of the Europe in construction. Most of the villages target of the project activities are located within or close to regional or national parks so that the spatial planning and the sustainable regional development are limited to all the challenges connected with natural and cultural heritage, land use regulation, social-cultural-economical dimension. The only way to reverse such tendency is to create jobs in those areas and tourism represents an enormous source of wealth that unfortunately has not been adequately exploited. Target areas (in Italy, Greece, Hungary, Romania, and Poland) have been chosen in such a way to represent a good example for the European value and relevant problems for the whole continent.
Read more Achievements (EN): The project has created jobs, particularly for young people, in the field of sustainable tourism and in related sectors like agriculture, restoration, or regional handicrafts. The establishment of new jobs has helped lessen the depopulation trend. Among others, the new professional profile of a “Tourism Manager” was developed and education schemes were introduced. Moreover, in the involved regions awareness of preserving the environment and cultural heritage has been raised by campaigns in schools. Feasibility studies for investments have been conducted and small-scale investments, mostly restoration measures of historic buildings, have been made. Particular attention has been paid to sending information to immigrants belonging to the Italian and Greek communities abroad who spend their holidays in their home countries and who can transfer their traditions to the new generations, which would otherwise be totally lost. An interactive website has been set up and is capable of including other interested institutions and local authorities in the whole CADSES area.
