The Province of Bergamo is a supra-local public body, located in northern Italy. Its territory has an area of 2,722.86 km² with more than 1 Million inhabitants and it includes 243 municipalities. As an intermediate body between the Region and the municipalities, the Province has fundamental and delegated functions and is responsible for several sectors including environment, land management, culture, tourism, sports, social policies, equal opportunities, territorial development, education and vocational training.
The territory of Bergamo Province is 64 percent mountainous. The northern part of the territory, consisting of the Bergamo valleys, includes the Orobian valleys and pre-Alps. Going south is a hilly belt with an area of 12 percent that includes the northern portion of the Isola bergamasca, the Colli di Bergamo and the Valcalepio, the production area of typical Bergamo wines.Since 2017 the Province of Bergamo is promoter and coordinator of a working group composed of all local stakeholders dealing with tourism accessibility in the territory. The goal is definitely to make the territory more accessible and inclusive for everyone, so not only for tourists, but also for the inhabitants. To do so, a common framework and activities such as a mapping of the degree of accessibility and training of tourist ooperators, among others, are needed. In 2022 the group expands, leading to the signing of a renewed memorandum of understanding for the promotion of accessible and inclusive tourism in the province of Bergamo.
Now we would like to have the opportunity to create a EU project dedicated to tourism accessibility and sustainability, collaborating and exchanging good practices with other countries.
The project goal could be: Promoting a new tourism model that is accessible, inclusive, and ethical in the rural and mountain areas of the Mediterranean, countering phenomena of overtourism within urbanized areas and seasonality-dependencyNot having much experience on this program we would prefer not to be lead partner. In any case, we are willing to discuss possible opportunities for collaboration.

we will also write to your email. We are interested in sharing our ideas on this topic with you. We are a group of linguists and economic geographers at Rome University Sapienza and our interests lie in eco-tourism, especially in regions which are off the beaten track and need to be developed.
ersilia.incelli@uniroma1.it24/04/2024 at 12:18 #24699Darko VujovićParticipantDear Chiara,
the project idea is very interesting, and we (Chamber of Economy of Sarajevo Canton) would be happy to join the consortium that needs to be formed for further development of the idea and (hopefully) its realization. Sarajevo is a place where the cultures of the south and north of Europe, Western and Eastern Christianity, Islam, and Judaism have met and merged, as well as the empires of European history. Despite the continuous increase in the number of tourists to Sarajevo, the magnificent natural environment surrounding the city is still neglected or underdeveloped in terms of tourism. Sarajevo is among the few capital cities in Europe that have almost all geological formations, geomorphological forms, and an extremely high degree of plant and animal diversity in its vicinity. It is significant to mention that the rural area in the Sarajevo Canton covers about 92% of the total area of the canton. Sarajevo is surrounded by mountains of unique beauty, some of which exceed 2,000 meters in height.
The Chamber of Economy has experience in implementing Interreg, IPA Cross border, and other similar projects, possesses the necessary infrastructure, as well as its own Education Center, and numerous partners in the country and the region. If you believe that the Chamber of Economy of Sarajevo Canton would be an adequate partner from Bosnia and Herzegovina for your project, we would gladly be part of the consortium.
In case you think there is room for our inclusion in the consortium, please contact us at: darkov@pksa.ba
Thanks and best regards!
Darko V.

I’m expressing our interest in joining your project proposal on behalf of ANTROPOSERVICE SAS, a creative Italian SME, selected since 2011 as main partner in the “Festival dei due Parchi” aiming to rediscovering and highlighting the “common sense” of a creative part of the territory of the two National Parks of Monti Sibillini and Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga, straddling the Italian regions: Abruzzo, Marche, Lazio, Umbria, in order to let citizens responsibly and creatively regain a sense of belonging to the territories, to protect and valorise them, with the languages of art, culture and sport starting from the wonderful environmental, naturalistic and cultural microcosm. Within the Festival, Antroposervice Sas has successfully conceived and organized since its inception more than 100 events, creatively using the languages of art, culture and sport, originally combining cultural and natural heritage, to propose a deep love for the beauty of nature, of artistic, cultural, anthropological and social traditions.
Among others, the “Festival dei due Parchi” and its events are based on raising awareness and organizing sustainable initiatives aiming to the protection and valorisation of natural eco-systems from anthropogenic exploitation, to the protection of natural habitats and biodiversity to help people develop a sense of profound respect for natural eco-systems and their interconnection with human life. Antroposervice staff provides international training activities for the update of professionals and experts in different fields: environmental sustainability, entrepreneurship, adult education, school education and youth, also designing innovative training modules and programmes for entrepreneurship, employability and creativity in general through proprietary learning ecosystems based on metaphorical systems withdrawn from the languages of art and European mythology to reinforce the so-called “life skills” of individuals such as, for instance: creative and critical thinking, deep and effective communication, interpersonal relationship, empathy and emotions. Since 2015 Antroposervice is in charge for the management of the 4-years post-graduate school for psychotherapy IPAEMarche (www.ipaemarche.com). Also thanks to this, it can count on a wide roster of international teachers and trainers in the fields of psychology, psychotherapy, sociology, anthropology, neurology, human sciences and other subjects.
Antroposervice operates also in the fields of sport-tourism development especially in the territory at the heart of Italy, where four Region (Marche, Abruzzo, Umbria and Lazio) and their peoples, meet. It is a territory of beautiful mountains, hills and seaside, with outstanding cultural heritage, food and handicraft traditions, undergoing profound transformation, due to the shift in the national and global production framework. Antroposervice staff and project team have an outstanding track record in the development of international cooperation programmes and project as well as in the concept, implementation and management of European funded projects.
Do not hesitate to contact us,
regards,

We are the Dalmatian Energy Agency (DEA), the only energy agency in the south of Croatia. As a public, non-profit organization founded by the local regional government, our mission is to ensure a sustainable energy future for our region. This involves increasing energy production from renewable energy sources (RES) and introducing smarter and more efficient systems.We are implementing solar energy systems, both thermal and photovoltaic, in households and particularly in buildings and facilities of the regional government. This June, our region welcomed 557,000 tourists, despite having a population of only 400,000 residents. During the summer period, our infrastructure is often overwhelmed. Consequently, we are working on smarter and greener infrastructure projects, such as e-chargers, digitalization, and the incorporation of renewable energy sources in tourism.
We also collaborate with other institutions, universities, and private companies on sustainability projects. We are interested in joining your project as a partner. For more information, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@dea-sdz.hr.
