On 16,08,2019. start developing a project: Youth from Bulgaria and Macedonia on Tourism as Health Prevention,
Partners Health Prevention Foundation – a
leading group in Bulgaria and the Divorce Center of the Tretiot-Northeastern
Mountain Region, Northern Macedonia
Specific objective: To promote cooperation between regional actors in the field
of sustainable tourism
Deadline: 15 months
This project is aimed at marketing health, wellness and sports tourism in the
region and in the cities of Blagoevgrad and Kriva Palanka among the young
people. This project will ensure that children and children with disabilities
use different installations for health, wellness and sports activities. This
will be achieved through several activities.
Namely, we will first conduct a survey of existing tourist sites and create prerequisites
for promoting the opportunities for tourist exchange between young people from
Blagoevgrad and Kriva Palanka. This will be achieved by researching,
categorizing and evaluating the available tourism resources, which will help
stakeholders to better understand the potential of the sites, to attract
visitors, which will also help regional actors create attractive programs and
routes for tourists in the future. In order to promote health and tourism at
the same time, we will open the creation of a health and tourism networking
center for children and children with disabilities.
The center is equipped with certain medical equipment that will be used for
health and tourist purposes for children from schools on both sides of the
border. Trainings and reviews will be held to improve the health of young
people and at the same time promote tourism among young people from the
cross-border region. In addition, we will build outdoor golf and fitness
courses and kids’ competitions, which
will become an annual practice for cooperation between partners. Finally,
children and children with disabilities will work for 5 days in health and
tourism seminars on PP1 and PP2. This activity will include the preparation of
a health tourism product by the young participants in the events. The product
will be publicized as well as project results.
