Project status

The project is under implementation:

Within the frame of Activity T1 “Development of a cross border tourist product based on local traditions, history, natural and cultural heritage”, the Tourist strategy development was finalised.

The foreseen IT application was developed: https://turism.primariav.idele.ro/ and it can be also found on Google play (by the name: VideleTour). The application will be further promoted to tourism operators and during the main project festivals.

The main investment objectives within the project are represented by the Reconstruction of town park in Videle and two project sites in Bulgaria, namely Lyaskovets Town Park – “Eco-zone for recreation, arts and sports in the town of Lyaskovets” and “Reconstruction of the open space and green park around the Community centre in the village of Kozarevets into a zone for creative attractions”. Thus, the two investment sites in Lyaskovets were finalized in December 2020 and the Reconstruction in the Town Park Videle in August 2022.

Following the complete finalization of the sites from both sides of the border, B2 – Lyakovets Municipality succeed to organise 3 of the main project events:

1. the Festival "The magic of Bulgarian Traditions" in June 2022;

2. the Culinary fest in Lyaskovets, in August 2022;

3. the "Festival of the chicken soup in the village of Kozarevets", in September 2022.
