Idea and short project description

Carpathia Culture Net – is an idea to create a cooperation system between cultural institutions, including museums or cultural centres as tourist information centers and integrators of the cultural potential of the region. A functional and well-managed system based on networking and effective communication allows for better resource management and organization of tourist traffic in the region, among others through joint promotion.
