Tourism in a green and healthy way? It is the only way!
How can we make regions more attractive to tourists in a green and healthy way?
The project INSiGHTS is about finding solutions for this question by developing tourism strategies, which not only make a region more attractive to tourists, but also protect its natural and cultural resources.
