Closed

Both of the areas of the Slovak Karst National Park and the Aggtelek national park suffer from high rate of unemployment (more than 20%). The existence of the national parks prevent from building heavy industry. The are is suitable for rural tourism. The tourism offer is rich, offer a number of show caves listed on the UNESCO World Heritage Sites List. There are a number of touring routes like The Gothic Route or the Rout of the Iron. The area is rich on historical buildings. We can find chateaus and castles and a plenty of manor houses. The solution for the high unemployment rate is sustainable small scale tourism development supporting BandB accommodation and small pensions. Currently the offer of accommodation facilities is higher than the demand. There is a need to raise the number of tourists. Till town Rožňava and the Directorate of the National Park Aggtelek had a little common action. They were able only publish some common information brochures. There is a need to elaborate a common marketing strategy. The project contains common marketing activities which will lead to higher number of visitors. Target is 10% in 3 years. We will attract tourists from the V4 countries and also from Western Europe. In long term the presence of tourists will lead to establishment of more tourism SMES which will help to combat with the high unemployment rate.
