Main achievements:
The first phase of the project was completed in December 2010. So far, the project has contributed to increase the population and local authorities awareness on the development of inclusive tourism. In addition, the project has helped to improve the relationships and interactions between tourists and villagers (learn about tourists expectations, protection of the environment and traditional houses...). The radio coverage and TV shows on the theme of inclusive tourism, its actors, environment and cultural interactions have started to have a positive impact on the flow of tourists visiting the 3 historical cities.
