SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE SLOW FOOD TOURISM IN THE DANUBE REGION

The main objective of the SReST project is to promote “slow food” tourism in the Danube region and enhance the employability of vulnerable groups by providing solutions that enable the valorisation of agrobiodiversity and gastronomic heritage and a fair distribution of generated benefits, including the well-being of the host communities.

By focusing on agro-biodiversity, food heritage and local identity, the goal is to broaden the socially responsible sustainable tourism offer and promote "slow food" tourism based on the exploration of gastronomic traditions and the local communities that preserve them. The project will help enhance local agricultural high-value chains while appreciating natural and cultural diversity of partner regions.

SReST will develop joint solutions to enhance socio-economic development and promote alternative models and competitive new tourism products of “slow food” itineraries grounded in agrobiodiversity and food heritage, tested in different territorial contexts of pilot regions. These solutions will not be limited to the local level, but will have a wider impact in the Danube area. Therefore, the success of the project will be based on close cooperation between partners from different countries and regions. You can learn more about the project partners here
