TASK
Project EX.PO AUS (EXtension of POtentiality of Adriatic UNESCO Sites) is a cross-border project co-financed by the EU within the IPA Adriatic CBC Programme 2007-2013.
Part of Working Package 8 – Joint Cultural-Tourism Valorization of the UNESCO Sites of the Adriatic Sea was to design tourist package combining existing project promotion materials, developing new ones and to promote it on regional, national and international level.
After discussion with all project partners the decision was made to design something interactive and accessible via Internet, rather than to make just some more printed materials. That way we could reach far more people interested in UNESCO Sites and promote them globally. Knowing that most printed promotional materials after a brief look finish as recycling materials, making a digital one makes even more sense.
So the idea about digital promotional material that help tourists plan their sightseeing routes and explore UNESCO sites that are part EX.PO AUS project was born.
SIGHTSEEING PLANNER
Major promotional material in the package became the digital booklet EX.PO AUS sightseeing planner that can be customized online. Tourists are encouraged to visit the sightseeing planner web site where they can explore the Inter-Adriatic UNESCO sites and make their own custom sightseeing tours according to their interests. Users can choose the location they want to explore and include in their eBooklet. The main focus is the cultural heritage of the UNESCO sites – attractions and sights worth seeing. All locations are marked on the interactive map and listed with a short description and photo.
