RIVER AND SUSTAINABLE TRANSFRONTAL TOURISM - HEAD, TER, FLUVIÀ AND SEGRE (TTFS)

Closed

Tourisme Transfrontalier Fluvial et Soutenable (TTFS) will develop a new cross-border tourist offer: river tourism, well established in the EU but still largely undeveloped in the Pyrenean region, through the integration of the Têt, Ter, Fluvià and Segre basins. Tourists will be offered an attractive and complementary touristic experience of 4 fluvial circuits of the Pyrenean-Mediterranean region, in which they will discover natural parks, the diversity of its flaura and fauna, history, cultural heritage, and local cuisine. The overarching element of TTFS is the creation of fluvial itineraries through the interconnection of existing green paths between urban and rural areas. The natural heritage will be enhanced in an attractive way through tourist support infrastructures and measures to strengthen the fluvial ecosystems (flora and fauna). As the quality of their ecosystems is improved, the touristic potential of these basins shall be developed through a unique complementary circuit: nature discovery activities such as sightings, cultural events, gastronomic workshops, touristic routes between the 4 basins, and joint projects of cultural hybridisation and tourism dinamisation. The goal is to create a single cross-border space dedicated to nature and leisure, built from the perspective of sustainability and environmental enhancement, in harmony with the territory, with the cooperation of those stakeholders that are closest to the river.
