Visit the AEI project websiteSustainable development through cultural assets and ICT
The main objective of the project is the sustainable development of the least developed representative areas, in the vicinity of the country’s gateways or tourist resorts, so as to orient the existing tourist arrivals towards attractions, touristic resources and products that will be produced from the advancement of the cultural and environmental assets and their development and exploitation through ICT applications.
The exploitation of ICT applications could generally contribute to the development of touristic resources and products from regions with cultural and environmental assets through analysing, documenting, modelling and managing those assets, so as to deliver added value to the local touristic development.
Telesto developed a web and mobile application that promotes the nine representative areas and attracts tourism and economic growth to the areas, by presenting the local history, monuments, cultural tours and natural attractions such as beaches, routes, caves and lakes. More details can be found at aei-touristikh.telesto-projects.eu.
Additionally, Telesto developed a web application that presents in detail the actual projects that are currently under development, finished or pending in the least developed areas, along with the financial schemes and tools that can be used by public or private organisations in order to receive funding and boost economic development.
