Innovation village

Our Local Development Strategy has two main goals: - Development of tourism and recreation; - Improving the conditions and quality of life within which the activities related to sport, recreation, tourism, culture, education and social integration are realized. Project aims to develop tourism at the rural territories and also to cultivate and exchange local traditions between each partner`s territory (we have some post mine territory and also can make some work to use its touristic sense). Recently we have finalised the preparation of this project with French LAG and now we are looking for partners from Germany and/or Czech Republic.

The area of the Turek Union for Development shows the potential for the de¬velopment of tourism, in the geographic and natural context and in the social context, expressed by high activity of inhabitants, who are willing to take initiatives in the cultural and social areas as well as in the business area. Also, the reclamation of the post- mining lands, which resulted in the creation of recreational water bodies which change the landscape of the region, determines the strength of the potential of the LAG in the field of development of tourism, including tourism based on ecology, recreation and active tourism.
