CROSSDEV - Crossborder agreements

Three agreements signed within the project on communication/marketing actions, cooperation among universities, and the sustainability of the newly developed online platform.

CROSSDEV - The Hidden Mediterranean platform

Hidden Mediterranean is the brainchild of five destinations with great tourism potential – the Jabal Moussa Biospehere Reserve in Lebanon, Aqaba and Umm Qais in Jordan, the Palestinian Heritage Trail in Palestine, and the Via Selinuntina in Italy – which have teamed up and are working together to promote cultural, experiential, sustainable and responsible tourism in off-the-beaten-path areas, which are rich in traditions and authenticity.

Slow Tourism Products (Med Pearls)

A total of 190 Slow Tourism packages were developed by 19 sub-grantees spread in the 6 countries of the project. These are ready to be booked by visitors and tourists and to be embedded in the Med Pearls promotional & commercialization channels (i.e. Breathing Land website).

Med Pearls Network

Med Pearls has been a cross-border project to internationally position the Mediterranean as an integral destination of quality and excellence for Slow Tourism. It has accelerated innovative initiatives built from public & private cooperation. As from the 13 Pearls of the Mediterranean pilot areas, created in 6 countries: Spain, Italy, Greece, Egypt, Jordan and Palestine, the project delivered a network of 19 DMCs and 10 ICT start-ups that involved an overall of 1.136 local providers.

MedSNAIL factsheets of quality products belonging to the Mediterranean culture, history and traditions.

As an alternative to the MedSNAIL Geodatabase, factsheets have been published with information on Ark of Taste products identified through MedSNAIL. This is a more visual and easy-to-share tool that describes the nature, production process and history of these products. The Ark of Taste is a Slow Food initiative created to highlight the existence of quality products belonging to cultures, history and traditions around the world, which are at risk of disappearing within a few generations.

MedSNAIL Narrative Labels to raise awareness of products linked to local history, tradition and culture.

Narrative labelling is a tool inspired by the strategic instruments developed by Slow Food and ultimately aims to promote a more homogeneous identification between products from a specific area, thus fostering a sense of shared identity and a more direct association between the area and its local products. Each of the MedSNAIL pilot areas has identified local products adapted to and consistent with their natural environment and developed labels that highlight descriptive characteristics associated with their territorial context, historical trajectory and connections with the intangible practices and traditions of local communities.

MedSNAIL Alliance of Chefs Directory for local products promotion.

The MedSNAIL Chefs Alliance, inspired by a Slow Food initiative, is made up of a group of chefs committed to integrating local products into local food production. These establishments have been identified and collected through a specific directory that makes it possible to identify Mediterranean gastronomic establishments committed to local products. This network will serve as a precedent for possible collaborations and/or synergies between members of the sector, as well as new commercial links between producers and chefs.
