Common cross-border challenges FORTITUDE project tackles are: non-existence of cultural tourism manifestations that would enrich cross-border tourism-offer and increase its attractiveness out of high season; underdeveloped tourism contents of heritage sites in programme area; lack of cooperation between heritage operators and tourism stakeholders, lack of heritage management know-how and best practices exchange among heritage operators. FORTITUDE project’s approach lies in improving tourism offer in communities with fortified heritage and creating joint cultural events which will increase the attractiveness of fortified sites and increase number of tourists in impact areas and programme area. Project main objective is to contribute to strengthening and diversification of tourist offer in programme area using a cross-border approach in sustainable fortified heritage tourism development in order to intensify and stimulate faster tourism growth in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. Main project outputs are annual cross-border tourism manifestation managed by partners in post-season; 5 visitor centers at fortresses in Šibenik, Karlovac, Banja Luka, Herceg Novi and Bar improved, equiped and promoted; 5 sightseeing routes featuring visits to fortresses created in partners cities; 60 stakeholder representatives educated/trained in tourism heritage management. With partners, main target groups benefiting from project are public institutions (tourist boards, heritage site operators, local authorities); tourism entrepreneurs (tour-guides, travel agencies, hotel-managers, other tourism SMEs), tourists and visitors who will benefit from increased variety of tourism offer in HR, BA and MNE. Project’s cross-border added value is the development of long-term cooperation in managing joint manifestation, mutual digital promotion of sites via digital kiosks; and standardization of heritage tourism management through capacity building trainings and know-how exchange.
