SUSTAINABLE TOURISM FOR GREEN GROWTH ALONG THE VIA DINARICA TRAILS IN BOSNIA ANDHERZEGOVINA

About this project

The initiative capitalizes on the achievements of the two previous phases of the “Via Dinarica” project in Bosnia and Herzegovina and to give further impetus aiming to further promote the Via Dinarica destination, not only locally and regionally, but also on the global tourism map. The intervention has a future-looking perspective that rests on the notion that the future of tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina is connected to sustainable and nature-based approaches, gender responsive green growth and livelihoods, amplified by technology and innovation. Learning from the lessons generated during the COVID-19 pandemic that upended tourism globally and in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Project embraces a renewed approach, with stronger focus on resilience. Yet, the COVID-19 crisis offered a windowof opportunity for renewed tourism development approaches, designed at the intersection of green livelihoods and jobs, policies and investments that promote and safeguard sustainable tourism and environmental protection, increased community and tourists’ nature consciousness, as well as intensified technology use – a multi-angle-win to help the country recover from the pandemic and transition towards more sustainable and resilient tourism sector. Through this project, UNDP further expands and diversifies partnerships forged so far and affirms a platform of supporting sustainable tourism in the country, as part of a regional partnership network.
