About

Although Central Danube area has not been traditionally oriented towards tourism, new economic opportunities emerge as tourist demand is shifting towards clean environment, healthy lifestyles, local traditions and unique gastronomies. Seeing these potentials on one side and lack of standardized accommodation facilities and services, low level of marketing and no diversification of offer on the other, the partners behind the Central Danube Tour project invested efforts to bring new values in the tourism of Croatia’s and Serbia’s cross-border area. They plan to foster tourism by creating joint tourist products and services and promote Central Danube destinations. This will be done by developing new cross-border thematic routes along the Danube.
