New ideas for 2° call of IPA Adriatic Programme

Adriatic Salt Pans: an important resource for environment, economy, tourism and cultural heritage

Priority 2: Natural and cultural resources and risk preventionMeasure 2.2.: Natural and cultural heritage management and prevention of natural and technological risks; or Measure 2.4.: Sustainable tourism

Framework: The Town of Cervia is known, besides as important seaside resort, as ancient Salt Town. The “white gold” production, probably started in the Etruscan period, became very active from the 10th Century and had a strategic role in the social, urban and architectural development of the Town. A large number of towns and cities all over Europe and along the Adriatic coasts had similar historical and social experiences during the ages. Salt pans represent a very important resource not only for the environment, but also for the cultural and touristic development. They have to be considered a cultural and environmental resource of excellence.

Adriatic Salt Pans: an important resource for environment, economy, tourism and cultural heritage

OBJECTIVES:The project aims therefore at promoting a cross-border cooperation for the protection

and valorisation of the Adriatic Salt pans, with the scope to develop and promote a new touristic offer linked to the salt production and its ancient culture and tradition

• To create a new touristic offer linked to the salt production and its traditions and culture;

• To create innovative tools to improve the touristic sustainable fruition of salt pans (i.e. using ecological/electric transports: boats, bikes, train,

etc…);• To prevent and efficaciously manage the anthropic and natural risks

affecting the fruition of salt pans;• To promote the touristic offer of towns and salt pans;

• To realize courses for “salt-workers”


Theme: innovative promotion and fruition of routes dedicated to cultural tourism

OBJECTIVES:- To adapt the services (culture, tourism and other public services to citizens) to the

needs of targets to favour greater autonomy in searching information.- To provide innovative services based on a user-driven approach, involving users in the

implementation and improvement of services.- To promote the strategic town planning as main factor in the urban planning, to

manage policies, methods and contents of services supply/demand for targets- To enhance tourism in the processes of economic and cultural integration at

international level with the opportunity to spread the promotion of “local social identities” in each urban context of partners involved in the project, through active participation of the tourists and residents.

Priority 2: Natural and cultural resources and risk preventionMeasure 2.4.: Sustainable tourism


Theme: innovative promotion and fruition of routes dedicated to cultural tourism

POSSIBLE ACTIONS:To realize an innovative internet service for the promotion and fruition of routes

dedicated to cultural tourism or other urban services, by using combined technologies to serve two different levels of consultation information:

- Integrated Web platform with general contents (cultural, tourist, commercial, institutional, environmental, ....) and some multimedia stations placed in strategic points of the city.

- Pilot project for “smart guides” on palmtop. The "smart guides" through a specific navigation system allowing users to easily locate points of interest within an instrumented area. Thanks to the palmtop tourists receive an alert when they meet points of particular interest and the palmtop provide all information relating to the place. Tourists are not obliged to follow a predefined route but can move freely within the space facilities like in a real open air museum. The path can be made accessible also by Internet


Theme: enhancement and promotion of the Adriatic archaeological sites

OBJECTIVES:- To enhance and improve the archaeological excellences of the Adriatic area through the

development of common quality standard and the use of innovative technologies- to create and promote a network of the Adriatic archaeological sites of excellence- to improve the management standards and the cooperation among the institutional

bodies- to promote the use of innovative technologies both for conservation and promotion

purposes- to create new opportunities of knowledge, integration and exchange of experience

Priority 2: Natural and cultural resources and risk preventionMeasure 2.4.: Sustainable tourism


Theme: enhancement and promotion of the Adriatic archaeological sites

POSSIBLE ACTIONS:- Exchange of knowledge and experiences on the methods of preservation of

archaeological findings and sites management aimed at the definition of common

standards and plans for a better management of archaeological sites

- definition of methodologies and guidelines for the promotion of the archaeological

sites according to innovative technologies, both for tourism purposes and culture

promotion

- definition of common itineraries of the Adriatic archaeological sites of excellence

- Definition of a common marketing and promotion strategy
