Awareness campaign - Workshops in Šibenik

Published on 28/05/2019 (last modified 24/04/2020)

On Monday and Tuesday, May the 27th and 28th, two workshops within the HERCULTOUR project were held at the Juraj Šižgorić Public Library in Šibenik.

The workshops were attended by about thirty representatives of local government representatives, public institutions and entrepreneurs in tourism.

The results of the project were presented by Lucija Aužina, Senior Business Advisor at the County of Šibenik - Knin. The Hercultour project is a continuation of the successfully implemented project "HERA", which valorized the archeological park Velika Mrdakovica and created a cultural tourism route called "Water - a powerful creator of history."

Thanks to the Hercultour funds invested in infrastructure implementation there have been arranged access roads to the archeological site, the sites included in the local cultural tourist route have been marked with information boards, and two indoor displays have been set up with the presentation of the route with all its localities.

A promotional video was published on national television and the route was presented to Šibenik students and the general public through lectures and workshops.

Moreover, the Zagreb Institute of Tourism has developed a cultural route management plan.

The cultural tourist route "Water - a powerful creator of history" was presented by Kresimir Grubic, an Associate at the ATK  Kreator  Agency from Sibenik.

The route valorises the relevance of water, as one of the key drivers of human society's development throughout history which influenced many development aspects: economy, urban planning, architecture, religion, health, travel, etc.

The route is designed as a multidimensional and multisensory experience for tourists that are capable to see, learn, hear, taste, actively participate, touch and (literally) immerge in the story, including different types of cultural attractions, different historical periods and different artistic styles.

The route encompass many localities in Šibenik-Knin County, connecting the most famous tourist attractions and sites of Šibenik, Vodice and Skradinski buk along with less known but equally attractive sites on the island of Prvić, along the Krka River, archeological sites and rural households in the hinterland.

The workshop presented the possibilities of integrating the route into the tourist market by creating half-day, one-day and multi-day packages.
