The Karst is a cross-border geographical area with similar characteristics and a rich cultural and natural heritage. The area faces difficulties such as the decline in the production of local products, which are crucial for the development of sustainable tourism. Abandonment of production is undoubtedly linked to the poor cross-border connection of local actors, too slow adaptation to market trends, and daily migration (especially of young people) to cities outside the region for better earnings. The aim of the AGROTUR+ project is to promote activities for the development of agricultural and tourist activities in the cross-border Karst area. In this way, we aim to encourage traditional land use, work towards the protection of the Karst heritage, the preservation of the population and the reduction of daily migration.
