Interreg V-A Czech Republic – Poland Project
Beginning 1 July 2022, we started the project GECON GAME – w poszukiwaniu skarbów geoparków [GECON GAME – in Search of Geopark Treasures], co-financed by the European Union under Interreg V-A Czech Republic – Poland (project number CZ.11.2.45/0.0/0.0/21_033/0003121). The main objective of the project is to advance cross-border geotourism as a sustainable form of tourism, i.e. creating and introducing a cohesive, innovative cross-border geotourism product. A shared goal among project collaborators is to enhance the appeal of lesser-visited sites in the border area.
