The project will contribute to solving the problems identified in the area of tourism, such as: untapped tourism potential, lack of adequate infrastructure, poor quality and limited diversity of the tourism offer, lack of digitalisation of the offer, barriers for persons with disabilities and lack of cooperation between actors in the sector. The state of the tourist route around Lake Krusko is unsatisfactory and does not allow the potential of this area to be exploited. Decreases in the surface, damaged footbridges, lack of signage and places to rest, architectural barriers discourage tourists. This results in the choice of other locations, which affects the attractiveness of the region and limits the development of the economy. The project is consistent with the type of projects indicated in the regulations. The project includes the following stages: preparatory work, implementation, settlement, monitoring of outputs and results. The project is in line with the Local Development Strategy 2024-2028, prepared by the Association of the Local Action Group “Kurpsie together”. It pursues Objective 3: Development of tourism in Kurpie through the construction of tourist and recreational infrastructure.
