COM4Tour

Project name

• Sustainable management of protected areas through bioclimate resources and outdoor comfort tourism - COM4Tour

Project objective

• In addition to monitoring visitors and bioclimatic parameters in protected areas of the Danube region, the objective is to prepare a study on visitor tracking to contribute to the better and more sustainable management of protected areas.

Project description

• The project will be applied under the INTERREG V-B Danube Transnational Programme, financed by the European Regional Development Fund. The aim of this project is to create a visitor tracking methodology in all protected areas of the Danube region through the tracking of visitors and with the help of the most modern tracking technology. In each protected area, a mobile meteorological station will also be installed to calculate the bioclimatic index which will later facilitate guidelines for the best possible organisation of activities in the area. A case study of each area based on all analyses will be produced and small-scale infrastructure procured (information panels, interpretation panels, benches, waste containers, viewpoints, solar chargers for mobile phones, etc.), contributing directly to the quality of the visit experience and the sustainability of the destination.
