The project will identify policy driven solutions to remove barriers,creating the conditions for value added transport services provision(e.g.institutions/instruments facilitating co-ordination between governmental departments in the planning phase,tourism travel plans,pricing policies and technical standardisation).The project focuses on transport as lever/opportunity and not as barrier to sustainable development and competitiveness,taking in consideration relevant key factors such as:improvement of socio-economic benefits,sites attractiveness,reduction of adverse environmental/social impacts,guarantee fair/equal access to tourism for all"
