Interact PRO MONTE

A Pilot Project for Mountain Sustainable Development The mountain regions in Europe face many of the challenges of regional development and the need for a balanced development is particularly urgent in mountain areas. They are naturally situated on borders since mountains make up a divider between nations, and the environment is fragile with special climatic and biologic conditions. PRO MONTE helps the mountain regions to overcome obstacles to cooperation and work for a sustainable development.

EU Latitude

The overall objective of the project is to develop collaboration between the European authorithy tourist offices and private branded guides publishers towards increasing the flow of tourists into european cities and regions. It will trial new tools for the tourism industry, addressing new values in a growing consumer segment: more demand for sustainable destinations and cultural tourism, look for emotional satisfaction, educational activities, need for a personnalized approach .. The services support transformation of government processes through a public-private partnership which will add significant value to tourists because eTourists seek qualification, hierarchisation, selection, prescription, quality of the presentation of the information, translation ; tourist offices have the mission to be exhaustive and objective ( and have the volume of content to do so), and don’t necessarily have the qualification in terms of presentation on new media. They also are limited in developing visibility on a large scale ; EU Latitude provides the missing link to interact efficiently and effectively with tourists, using tourist offices’ contents and transforming it into high quality and selective online information and services targeting European tourists.
