A free training for representatives of 50 households/rural families in Katun neighborhood will be held.
SERDA Regional Development Agency, Fojnica Municipality and Faculty of Agriculture and Food, University of Sarajevo, in partnership with the National Tourism Organization of Montenegro and the Regional Development Agency for Bjelasica, Komovi and Prokletije, is implementing a project called “Katun Roads of Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina” which is financed by European Union, within the IPA cross-border cooperation program Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
The project aims to improve the quality and diversify of the tourist offer based on the natural and cultural heritage of the cross-border area of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. The total value of the project is 466,530.53 EUR (912,244.46 BAM), of which the EU finances 85%, i.e., 396,518.85 EUR (775,523.46 BAM), while the rest is co-financed by project partners.
As tourism is a new activity for most katuns, the provision of appropriate technical assistance to rural families in relation to tourism is extremely important for the sustainability of this action and the overall success. Within the project, among other activities, a free training for representatives of 50 households/rural families in Katun settlements will be held, which will cover the following topics:
- Module 1: Basics of catering (guest accommodation and food preparation),
- Module 2: Inclusion of elements of tradition in the tourist offer,
- Module 3: Product packaging.
