The innovation and added value of project Tourism-e is to consolidate information, products and services from previously implemented projects; add to them missing elements and popularize this new centralized platform with ICT tools through cooperation between main organizations from both sides of the border in tourism.
CB area tourist industry faces challenges such as the lack of international tourist destinations (emblematic destinations) and the lack of integrated tourist destinations suitable for different tourist groups (e.g. athletes, elderly, etc).
