STAR Cities learning programme is coming to an end and project partners are happy to present the result of their cooperation for a better management of river tourism in Riverside Cities.
During this virtual conference hosted by NECSTouR, STAR Cities partnership will present a selection of good practices from the partnership and outside. Then, we would like to open the discussion about the future of our cooperation through the Riverside Cities network that we wish to develop in the coming years.
The conference will also present STAR Cities Good Practices Guide, the result of three years of exchange of experiences about river tourism development. This document presents the main outcomes of the project learning programme and a selection of good practices from all project partners, together with policy recommandations.
