The stakeholders were willing to support Leartibai Foundations work in the project. They also will participate in the field visits. This will help the Foundation to develop their tourism strategy in the correct way.

Stakeholders emphasized the importance for our region of participating in European Interreg projects like SYSTOUR, not only to improve the region’s policy instrument, but also to show commitment to sustainability. For this reason, they suggest that the entire process be well communicated, to involve all citizens.
