The “GO walking” project aims to create a new circular itinerary of 260 km, which surrounds Gorizia and Nova Gorica, European capitals of culture 2025. The main goals are encouraging cross-border cooperation to strengthen green tourism; jointly promoting the natural and cultural heritage; using hiking to enhance rural development; improving route management at the local, national and cross-border level; boosting cross-border university cooperation; promoting a healthy lifestyle. Involving a wide range of actors, not only local ones, "GO walking" will promote a series of activities, which include the creation of the route with opening events and a specialist conference, the training of tourist guides and the preparation of tourist sales packages. There will also be the promotion of the activities through the channels established by both project partners and the strategic management of cross-border hiking trails with an action plan for sustainability.
