The goal of the project was to create successful tourism products through the establishment of cross-border business cooperation, travel agencies, upgrade skills and knowledge of tour guide services and rescue services and the increase in small-scale tourism infrastructure. In this way, it significantly contributed to the development of adventure tourism as one of the important forms of sustainable tourism.

Clean and rich biodiversity Adriatic sea, rivers, mountains and forests are the core values and a framework in which people spend their free and as such represent an important tourism resource because for the majority of tourists, especially adventurers, most attractive places are these one with a rich and preserved nature. In the spirit of its vision and mission, the Association Sunce as a partner in the project helped to increase the guides’ knowledge on the natural heritage and on environmental protection measures. In three courses, organized through the project, participated in total 64 participants.

During the entire project Sunce have coordinated tourism "cluster" and led the process of tourist itineraries development, offered in five forms of adventure tourism (cycling, hiking, sea kayaking, family and multiactiv program). In addition, we developed 6 educative boards for interpretation of natural heritage in cross border areas in Dubrovnik-Neretva County.
