About this good practice

The project aimed at informing and promoting the identity of cross-border region and its cultural and historical heritage, improving the tourist flow and presented the following main objectives:
1. Creating a model of cross-border (CBC) region that is unique in its nature and involves realistic 3D scale models of significant cultural and historical sites located on both sides of Danube.
2. Raising awareness and popularizing CBC region in terms of cultural and historical sites located in Southern Romania and Northern Bulgaria.
3. Increasing tourist flow.
4. Creating a single integrated tourism product.
Within the project was developed mobile application containing detailed information on CBC region and the cultural and historical sites located in its territory. For each of the studied sites there is a detailed roadmap and GPS coordinates for its location.
It was organized a drawing contest for children which involved children from CBC region of Bulgaria and Romania painting the cultural and historical sites in their province or county as seen through their eyes.
There were studied 45 cultural and historical sites in the eligible area by taking photographs, sketches and measurements, and after that produced a detailed scale model of Danube plain. The model is 17 m long and 3.90 m wide.
8 exhibitions were conducted within the project – 4 in Romania and 4 in Bulgaria – where the detailed model of the Danube plain was presented to the public.
