Project Description
ADRILINK “Adriatic Landscape Interpretation Network” is a project funded by the European program Interreg ADRION within the priority axis related to the sustainability of the Regions.
The general objective of ADRILINK is to promote Landscape Tourism in the Adriatic Region through the creation of a network of Landscape Interpretation Centers, conceived as nodal points of selected thematic routes and itineraries, digitally connected through an ICT platform, guaranteeing the integrated management of tourist services, promoting innovative solutions.
The project provides new models of sustainable tourism management aimed at reducing the seasonality of tourism through the enhancement of natural and cultural landscapes as common assets that can be visited throughout the year. The whole project is conceived as a “Community Based Project” where the community is the key actor in “thinking/rethinking” its own landscape, using different interpretative keys such as history and art, culture, handicraft, routes and traditions, typicality to reconstruct its own past, understand the present and plan also the future. PROGRESS Foundation, as a subcontractor of the Albanian Development Fund, contributes to the project by carrying out the activities related to work package management, communication and implementation as foreseen in this contract. The chosen project area for Albania is Valbona.
