Local businesses in Mineralni Bani municipality are invited to a meeting on the DETOUR project, "Digital Routes and Authentic Experiences in Mineralni Bani Municipality". It will be held on Friday, 13 November, at 2pm in the municipal council chamber.
Business owners will learn about the project, what it has achieved so far and how tourism in the area can grow. Organisers will also present the new tourism product created under the project, along with the finished parts that visitors can already use.
The meeting will also cover how hotels, guest houses, restaurants, producers, craftspeople and other local businesses can join in and offer their services as part of a shared tourist experience. Organisers say tourism grows best when local business takes part, and that behind every authentic experience are people, ideas, local products and good services.
After the meeting, participants and their staff can take extra training free of charge. Prof. Dr Dafov, a lecturer at Sofia University, will lead it.
The training is practical and has two strands: the first covers tourism and developing tourist potential, plus digital and innovative solutions. The second covers teamwork and project work.
