The “Fishing Travel Network” project aimed to identify tourism opportunities in each of the LAG areas involved, and promote them via IT tools. The lack of tourism around local areas and the identification of poor economic diversification as a common weakness, led to the establishment of a partnership to address these issues in a coordinated manner.
The project included research and analysis, whereby each LAG gathered information on four areas of tourist relevance: river areas of recreational interest; gastronomy, with a special focus on fisheries products; cultural traditions; and local history. After gathering the conclusions, four tourist routes were designed, covering the tourist attractions identified and including restaurants, museums, accommodation, recreational fishing spots, hiking trails and parks.
These routes were promoted through a website created for this purpose as well as with additional promotional material. Four QR codes were also generated to facilitate access to the routes via mobile phone.
