Svidnik - Zagórz in the application

Beneficiary:   Dukla Destination no

Polish partner:   Zagórz Commune

Implementation period:   01/03/2017 - 30/09/2017

Realized project value: € 88,048.31 , including ERDF co-financing: € 74,841.06 ,

The main idea of the project was to create an activity that would be appropriately aimed at the development of the cultural and natural heritage of the selected border region. Both regions have invaluable and attractive tourist destinations, but they lack adequate promotion and digital maturity of the tourist products offered. Thanks to the creation of a new, innovative Polish-Slovak tourist product (mobile application / tourist guide), it is possible to reach a wide group of new potential tourists. The new e-product has the potential to become an effective tool for promoting cultural and natural heritage not only among domestic but also foreign tourists.

The main activities carried out under the project:

• Creation of an innovative mobile application . It is the only application of this type that covers the area near Dukla (Svidník and its surroundings) and the Zagórz Commune. The application includes a detailed map of the region with a location function. This means that the map displays the user's location, which is directed to particular attractions in the area. Through the control panel, you can select the area - Slovak or Polish part, or both. In this way, the map and content as well as attractions and destinations adapt to the user's preferences. The application is available in three language versions. The following languages can be set via the control panel: Slovak, Polish and English.
• The e-product promotional campaign in Slovakia was prepared for a wide audience. During the event, promotional materials were used, which made it possible not only to present the application for mobile devices, but also the project and program itself. The event was accompanied by, among others folk music performed by the band Šarišanci,
• The e-product promotional campaign in Poland was organized during the 19th edition of Rykowisko Karpacki and was open. In addition to officially invited guests, the event was attended by numerous residents of the Zagórz Commune, as well as tourists and residents of neighboring communes. Two stands have been prepared for the promotion of the project - virtual and presenting traditional regional cuisine. At the virtual stand prepared in cooperation with the Slovak partner, everyone had the opportunity to see the effects of the project in the form of an application for mobile devices, a tourist guide and the "1 EUROKARPAT" commemorative coins. On the other hand, at the regional food stand, a snack was prepared according to traditional regional recipes for all participants of the action promoting the micro-project.
