ACTIONS
- Project website The website serves as the official platform for showcasing and promoting the project, its activities, and its outcomes. It will be updated and maintained during the entire duration of the project. At the same time, it will contribute to promoting tourism in the cross-border region, showcasing the region and all those providing the tourism product.
- Printed and electronic informative material. The material aims to provide information concerning the project (contents, goals, benefits, etc.) both regarding its ongoing activities and after its completion (information on the results) and includes: Informative printed material, posters, the creation and operation of social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, Lindin, You Tube), with regular feeds with informative material and posts/publications and the making of a promotional video for the project, lasting 4-8 minutes for the tv and website airing.
Organization of an information day at the beginning of the programme (See here: link)
The tourism packages will illustrate the tourism product of the region in an attractive way, including guided tours, a description of tourist resources, proposals for combining tourism with local cuisine and quality local products, etc.
The methodological handbook will include a concise description of the methods and tools for managing products and projects for sustainable tourism. The creation of such a ‘tool’ for businesses and bodies exercising a tourism policy is deemed to be absolutely imperative and crucial, particularly for the Regional Unit of Kilkis and the cross-border region in general, where, on the one hand sustainable development is a centripetal policy choice, while on the other hand, tourism development lags behind in an environment otherwise completely receptive to and attractive for developing sustainable tourism.
A marketing and destination branding plan in the Regional= Unit of Kilkis as a part of enhancing tourism development in the cross-border region in light of cross-border cooperation emphasizing sustainable tourism and its alternative forms (wellness, wellbeing tourism, etc.)
A two-day local event/microfair will be held in Kilkis addressing both the bodies and the general public. Representative bodies with an object related to the tourism sector will be invited to the fair, where they will get the chance to showcase their product with promotional stands and presentations. B2B meetings will be arranged within the event as well as an information day concerning the objectives of the project, while a gastronomic event will be organised including the preparation and providing of food items with local recipes and ingredients / products for the visitors. During the fair souvenir and promotional gifts will be provided for the visitors.
With the participation of Anaptixiaki Kilkis (Development Agency of Kilkis) and the project partners in the Philoxenia 2023 tourism fair with the aim on the one hand of promoting the project, its goals and outcomes, while on the other hand to develop synergies and exploit NETOURAL's idea.
