1. Relevance of the Action
• Provide a general presentation and analysis of the problems and their interrelation at all levels.
• Identify clearly specific problems to be addressed by the Action.
• Include a brief description of the target groups and final beneficiaries.
• Demonstrate the relevance of the proposal to the needs and constraints in general of the target
country(ies) or region(s) and to the target groups/final beneficiary groups in particular.
• Demonstrate the relevance of the proposal to the objectives and priorities and requirements of the
Call for Proposals (point 1.2 in the Guidelines for Grant Applicants).
• Demonstrates the inclusion of specific added-value elements, such as environmental issues,
promotion of gender equality and equal opportunities, needs of disabled people, rights of minorities,
rights of children, good governance and public participation in decision-making, or innovation and
best practices [and other elements indicated under 1.2. of these Guidelines].
In both Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, most of targeted municipalities are rural and underdeveloped
compared to the national averages (GDP per capita, education and other indicators) or slightly above the
average. Most of them also have significantly higher unemployment rates (up to 50%) as well. It is
necessary to provide new job opportunities for the young generation, as well as to re-employ older
workers who lost their jobs during the economic crisis. Strengthening and expanding the tourism services
will enable the selected area to diversify the economy and create new employment opportunities.
The National Tourism Strategy of the Republic of Serbia (2006) states as its main objectives:
(a) The improvement of economic development, employment and quality of living through development
of international tourism;
(b) Ensuring long-term protection and integrated management of natural and cultural resources in the
interest of sustainable tourism development;
(c) Rural tourism is one of nine priority areas.
In Republika Srpska, the Tourism Development Strategy 2011-2020 was developed with the aim of
improving the competiveness of the tourism sector. Similarly, the Development Strategy of Brcko
District defined rural tourism as first by importance in segment of tourist offer. Specific features of rural
communities with traditional activities can be attractive for future initiatives, while the main challenges
are: 1.institutional framework (i.e. no tourism organization); 2. inadequate awareness of tourism
potential; 3. lack of specialised training; 4. lack of tourism infrastructure (i.e.signalisation); 5.
stakeholders’ disconnection.
Therefore, obvious compliance of the institutional framework of both countries provides basic
assumption for the proposed Action.
Both regions are rich with natural, cultural and historic resources suitable for tourism development
lacking at the same time favorable conditions for other economic activities that are typical for rural areas.
Enhancement and developing already existing provision of tourist and related services enables
diversification of the local (regional, municipal and individual) economy thus contributing to increased
income generation.
This Action will improve collaboration amongst stakeholders and partners on both sides of the border
through the development of a joint tourist product that will help to create a strong brand that could
effectively compete with presently more attractive tourist destinations. The Action will contribute to
increasing the number of tourists in target municipalities by 10% at the end of the project (compared to
2011). Using UNWTO methodology, it can be estimated that this will bring an additional EUR 570,000
of income for selected municipalities.
24
Target groups in this action are the local tourism service providers (including households and
restaurants), tourism organizations, cultural and historical institutions, municipalities and civil society
organizations. To the extent possible the project will also pay attention to the young people and women
within the target groups, by stimulating their involvement in the activities, and will seek to ensure equal
participation of men and women in the training activities. The estimated number of stakeholders involved
in this project will be between 120 and 150.
The project will address regional inequalities and improve economic opportunities in the cross border
region, as most of these municipalities lag behind the national average. The project will also address the
lack of joint tourism offer in the cross border region by strengthening cooperation between small
entrepreneurs, tourist agencies, and other stakeholders. Finally, through vocational training, the project
will address the lack of capacity of human resources in the tourism sector.
The Action responds to the specific objectives of development of tourism as a key sector of the border
economy; strengthening the incentives for SME development in the border areas; and Promoting cross
border trade cooperation and accessibility to markets. The Action is based on a set of activities for
promoting tourism and improving the quality of tourism services in the cross border region, as well as
connecting and promoting the cooperation of tourism entrepreneurs, cultural institutions, tourism
agencies and other stakeholders. Developing a joint tourism offer and linking the sights will strengthen
the appeal of the cross-border region and help distinguish it from competitors.
This action is highly relevant for the priority identified in the second Call for Proposals: “Social and
economic cohesion through joint actions to improve physical, business, social and institutional
infrastructure and capacity”, specifically Measure I.1 - Improving the productivity and competitiveness
of the area’s economic, rural, cultural and environmental resources. By improving the institutional
capacities, social capital and business-to-business connections, the Action will strengthen the
competitiveness of the cross border area, create additional income, and promote sustainable use of
economic, rural, cultural and environmental resources.
The Action will address the cross-cutting issues of gender equality; protection of environment & nature
protection; and Public participation in decision-making processes. Special attention will be paid to equal
participation of men and women in all activities, especially in trainings, cross border visits, and decision
making processes (establishment of service provider associations). Protection of environment and nature
will be ensured by responsible and sustainable promotion of environmental resources for tourism
purposes. All protected areas will be clearly marked on maps printed within the Action, and tourist
guides will be trained about the importance and protection of these areas.

2. Description of the action
Provide a description of the proposed Action including, where relevant, background information that
led to the presentation of this proposal. This should include:
• a description of the overall objective of the action and the duration,
• a description of the proposed activities, their effectiveness and expected results;
• information on the involvement of any implementing partners, their role and relationship to the
applicant, if applicable;
• information on other stakeholders (national, local government, private sector, etc.), their anticipated
role and/or attitudes towards the project and any consultation undertaken with them .
The overall objective of this action is to strengthen cross-border collaboration and tourism in the
neighboring regions of Western Serbia and Eastern Bosnia and Hercegovina. Through this process
human, natural, cultural and economic resources will be enhanced. While economic development is
central to the objective, it is the cross border cooperation that is of the greatest importance as it is
essential to sustainability of the action.
The target regions face challenges in attracting tourists and providing quality services to them. The
capacities of tourist organizations are limited (2-9 employees) and some municipalities do not have a
tourist organization so service providers lack up-to-date information and have difficulties in entering the
tourism market. In order to address this, the Action will enable the small tourism service providers
(households, restaurants, souvenir producers), museums, larger hotel establishments, tourist agencies and
other stakeholders to establish long-term cooperation and better define the tourism offer by linking the
different sites in the cross border region.
Activity 1.2: Strengthening human capacities in the tourism sector. Within the activity 1.2 it is planned to
organize 4 training sessions (2 in Serbia and 2 in Bosnia and Herzegovina) on tourism development.
Topics will include: * Setting prices for tourism products * Equipment for households wishing to engage
in tourism * Categorization criteria * Marketing of rural tourism offering * Rural tourism in neighboring
countries and the EU. Also, trainings for 15 tourist guides and animators will be organized, with tourism
content specifically related to the cross border region.
Within this activity, recommendations for tourism development in the cross-border region of Serbia and
Bosnia and Herzegovina will be developed through a participatory process. During the preparation, 2
focus groups will be held in each country, one with tourism service providers and another one with
tourists. Recommendations will be presented at the conference “Cross Border Cooperation in the
Tourism Sector” in Zlatibor, with participants from both countries. The expected result is improved
knowledge and developed management capacities of tourism service providers in the cross border region.
This activity is also expected to guide the future development of tourism in this cross border region, with
engagement of municipalities, tourist organizations, civil society, service providers and other
stakeholders. A key group of 20 stakeholders will be formed to follow the implementation of
recommendations, including the new associations of tourism service providers which will be established
in East Bosnia, Brcko and Western Serbia (see activity 2.1).

stakeholders. A key group of 20 stakeholders will be formed to follow the implementation of
recommendations, including the new associations of tourism service providers which will be established
in East Bosnia, Brcko and Western Serbia (see activity 2.1).
On both sides of the border it envisaged to establish supporting, operational organizations, the
Associations for Rural Tourism in Western Serbia and the Tourism Service Providers’ Associations in
East Bosnia and Brcko. The anticipated result is improved knowledge and developed management
capacities of tourism service providers in the cross border region. Through the establishment of new
associations, the tourism sector in the cross border region will have stronger advocacy capacities and the
ability to follow the recommendations for tourism development (produced under activity 1.2).
Activity 3.1 Developing promotional materials and events for featuring the cross border region as a
tourism destination
The activity comprises following sections:
- Developing promotional materials, including flyers, brochures for the associations established through
the project, and training materials;
- Developing a website with a page for mobile phones including GPS data;
Creating a database with pictures of households providing tourism services (for use on the website and in
publications);
- Organizing 4 visits of domestic and international tourist agencies to the selected municipalities
(including municipalities in Serbia and BiH in each trip);
- Organizing 2 press conferences – 1 introductory conference for the project launch (at Zlatibor, Serbia),
and one final project conference (in Brcko, Bosnia and Herzegovina).
3. Sustainability of the action - Risks: There is a risk of depopulation resulting from unfavorable
demographic trends and the aging of the local populations. Additionally, there are risks associated with
the complexity of tourism data and concepts and the absorption capacity of participants in educational
activities. Contingencies for these risks are as follows: to address the depopulation and aging issue, this
Action set will seek to implement an inclusive methodology that will target the residents less likely to be
affected by this trend.
Environmental risks are not substantial but considerations must be given to areas of risk such as garbage
being dumped along scenic routes impacting destination desirability and tourists veering off nature paths
into biodiversity hotspots. Tourist guides will be trained on these issues, and tourist maps (printed within
the project) will clearly mark protected areas. Risks associated with the activities under communication
do exist but are reasonably manageable. The predominant risks are associated with possible inter-ethnic
intolerance due to the history of conflict.
The risk of inter-ethnic intolerance will be overcome through regular communication of all partners and
participatory approach in the planning and implementation of all activities, which will enable all
stakeholders to have equal treatment and open communication with the organizers.
27
The risk of inter-ethnic intolerance will be overcome through regular communication of all partners and
participatory approach in the planning and implementation of all activities, which will enable all
stakeholders to have equal treatment and open communication with the organizers.
Preconditions and assumptions: One of the preconditions for project implementation is the willingness of
tourism entrepreneurs and other stakeholders to work together in implementation of trainings, lectures,
study and household visits, etc. An assumption for successful implementation of the project is a stable
political situation in the border region, on both sides of the border, and that the trend of improvement of
bilateral relations between the two countries (Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina) will continue.
Sustainability
This project is developed using existing organizations and will improve and strengthen relationships
between stakeholders as a result of this investment by the EU. The participatory, multi-stakeholder
approach described in the methodology section above will enable private, public and civil society
stakeholders to influence the future development. This approach builds ownership of the process and
ensures that development is in line with the needs of communities.
Financially, all of the partners to the project have been active in the areas covered by this project and will
continue to be so. In Serbia, Ministry of Economy and Regional Development (responsible for tourism)
will continue to support further implementation and maintenance of activities in this field. Tourism is
perceived as an important means for increasing employment in underdeveloped municipalities and rural
areas. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, all entities and municipalities will continue to promote tourism as a
means of economic development but also key for improving the international perception of the country.
It is expected that there will policy level benefits on both sides of the border as a result of this action.
While specific legislation may not be an immediate outcome or result from the action, other areas will
benefit substantially. As a result of the recommendations for tourism development, the governments will
have access to up-to-date information and advice on how to proceed. On both sides of the border, efforts
are currently underway to resolve issues surrounding the quality of service and variety of tourist
programmes on offer.
New trainings in this field and development of cross-border promotional materials will ensure that
tourists are satisfied with their experience and make return visits. The large gathering of tourism
stakeholders at the events within the Action will provide policy inputs for the national and local
governments through reports and direct participation of their representatives.

1.5. Objectives (max 1 page)
Describe the overall objective(s) to which the Action aims to contribute towards and the specific
objective that the Action aims to achieve.
The overall objective of this action is to strengthen cross-border collaboration and tourism. This action will
improve collaboration amongst stakeholders and partners on both sides of the border through the
development of a cooperative tourist offering. Through this process human, natural, cultural and
economic resources will be enhanced. While economic development is central to the objective, it is the
cross border cooperation that is of the greatest importance as it is essential to sustainability of the action.
The specific objective is to improve the quality of tourism offer through cooperation amongst stakeholders
in the cross border region. There are a number of existing assets on both sides of the border that are
underutilized, but could make a real contribution to the tourist sector and the economic activities in the
region in general.
The area’s natural and cultural assets represent significant opportunities for the development of cross
border tourism. This proposed action will address the largest obstacles to capitalize on these assets: the
lack of human resources, poor cooperation amongst (cross border) stakeholders, and low capacity for
capitalization of existing assets.
• Demonstrate the relevance of the Action to the objectives and priorities of the Guidelines.
• Demonstrates the inclusion of specific added-value elements, such as environmental issues,
promotion of gender equality and equal opportunities, needs of disabled people, rights of minorities,
rights of children, good governance and public participation in decision-making, or innovation and
best practices [and other elements indicated under 1.2. of these Guidelines].
Target groups in this action are the local tourism service providers (including households and
restaurants), tourism organizations, cultural and historical institutions, municipalities and civil society
organizations. To the extent possible the project will also pay attention to the young people and women
within the target groups, by stimulating their involvement in the activities, and will seek to ensure equal
participation of men and women in the training activities.

tourist agencies, hiking and other sports clubs, smaller accommodation providers and restaurants, and
other tourism stakeholders in selected municipalities of the cross border region. The project will also
involve institutions responsible for management of over 25 protected areas, including the Uvac reserve,
the “Mokra Gora” park and others. Their market readiness and products will be assessed and they will be
included in a comprehensive database.
The most active ones that are assessed as market ready will be included in promotion the cross border
tourism offer. Final beneficiaries of the project are population of communities from the selected
municipalities (approx. 460,000 people), local and national institutions that will benefit from expert
recommendations and gathered data, as well as local businesses, hotels and spas, producers of local
traditional products (wine, honey, cheese, ham, souvenirs, handicrafts etc.), owners of the old authentic
buildings, traditional restaurants, etc.
• Identify clearly the specific problems to be addressed by the Action and the perceived needs and
constraints of the target groups.
The project will address regional inequalities and improve economic opportunities in the cross border
region, as most of these municipalities lag behind the national average. The project will also address the
lack of joint tourism offer in the cross border region by strengthening cooperation between small
entrepreneurs, tourist agencies, and other stakeholders. Finally, through vocational training, the project
will address the lack of capacity of human resources in the tourism sector.
This approach has been used extensively in the world, as tourism is the main source of income for 1/3 of
developing countries and the primary source of foreign currency for 49% of least developed countries.In
both Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, a significant portion of target municipalities are
underdeveloped compared to the national averages of GDP per capita, unemployment, education and
other indicators. In Serbia, the latest Government directive on development of municipalities shows that
five out of nine selected municipalities experienced a decrease in their level of development in 2011
compared to 2010 (namely, Pozega, Nova Varos, Ivanjica, Cajetina and Priboj).
Most of them also have significantly higher unemployment rates than the national average, with up to
50.92% in Prijepolje, 48.09% in Priboj and 45.57% in Sjenica. This action targets a mix of
underdeveloped and developed municipalities since Kosjeric, Arilje, Uzice and Cajetina are above or
close to the national average, and other municipalities are underdeveloped.Bosnia and Herzegovina
experiences similar regional inequalities. While the Republika Srpska salary average is 400 Euros,
Visegrad is above average with 428 Euros and Srebrenica is 11% lower with 376 Euros.
According to the Statistical Office, Brcko district has a greater number of people under 15 than the
national average, but a much higher unemployment rate (36% compared to 27% national average,
according to the last Labour Force Survey). It is necessary to provide new job opportunities for the young
generation, as well as to re-employ older workers who lost their jobs during the economic crisis.
Strengthening and expanding the tourism services will enable the selected area to diversify the economy
and create new employment opportunities.

In both Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, tourists tend to visit only the capital city and surrounding
area. In Serbia, over 70% of tourists stay in Belgrade and Central Serbia. In the Federation of Bosnia and
Herzegovina over 75% of tourists go to Sarajevo, Neum and Mostar; while in Republika Srpska 52% of
tourists stay in Banja Luka, Pale and Teslic.The upgrading of tourism services in other areas will
contribute to their development and help to attract a greater number of tourists. At the same time, the
municipalities in the cross border region are relatively well connected between themselves so there is
strong potential for directing tourists from one sight to another within this area.
Finally, the project will address the lack of capacity of human resources in the tourism sector. Currently in
Bosnia and Herzegovina over 85% of tourists stay in hotels, while in Serbia this figure is slightly lower
(around 50%) mainly thanks to the stronger spa sector. In both countries, there is an opportunity for
households and smaller establishments (B&B) to begin providing less expensive accommodations and
food, as well as other tourist services.
• Demonstrate the relevance of the Action to the needs and constraints of the target country(ies) or
region(s) in general and to the target groups/final beneficiaries in particular and how the Action will
provide the desired solutions, in particular for the targeted beneficiaries.
The
National Tourism Strategy of the Republic of Serbia states as it main objectives (a) the improvement of
economic development, employment and quality of living through development of international tourism
and (b) ensuring long-term protection and integrated management of natural and cultural resources in the
interest of sustainable tourism development.
This Action responds to these objectives by strengthening capacities of tourism service providers and
sharing of good practices with the aim of improved management and economic development of the cross
border region. In Republika Srpska, the Tourism Development Strategy 2011-2020 was developed with
the aim of improving the competiveness of the tourism sector. The Action Plan for Development of Brcko
District also states as one of its main priorities the sustainable use of natural resources – and within this
priority, measure 4 foresees development of rural tourism as a means to increase employment.
This Action will contribute to these objectives by identifying the best tourism services and sights,
presenting them to travel agencies and directly to tourists online. Links with other nearby sights in the
cross-border region will be provided. The Action will also pay special attention to the promotion of cultural
tourism sights, such as the Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge in Visegrad which was recognized as a
UNESCO heritage site in 2008; as well as the numerous national parks. Cooperation will also be
established with the Roman Municipium Museum in Srebrenica and cultural institutions in all
municipalities.
In addition, the Tourism Development Strategy of Republika Srpska identifies as a challenge the high cost
of hotel accommodations which can be addressed partly by building capacities of household
accommodations. The Action will assess this option during the process of developing recommendations
for tourism development in the cross-border region, including through focus groups with service providers
and tourists. The recommendations will also propose measures for development of other types of tourism
including programmes revolving around sports and adventure, history and culture, gastronomy, wellness
and relaxation, etc. The target regions face challenges in attracting tourists and providing quality services
to them.
The capacities of tourist organizations are limited (2-9 employees) and some municipalities do not have a
tourist organization so service providers lack up-to-date information and have difficulties in entering the
tourism market. In order to address this, the Action will enable the small tourism service providers
(households, restaurants, souvenir producers), museums, larger hotel establishments, tourist agencies
and other stakeholders to establish long-term cooperation and better define the tourism offer by linking
the different sights in the cross border region. Moreover, the Action will provide training for tourism
stakeholders on issues such as service and product pricing, categorization, EU policies and networks for
tourism development, etc. 35 of 177

• Demonstrate the relevance of the Action to the objectives and priorities of the Guidelines.
The Action is highly relevant to the Strategic objective of the Cross-border
Programme Bosnia and Herzegovina – Serbia: “To bring together the people, communities and
economies of the border area to jointly participate in the development of a cooperative area, using its
human, natural and economic resources and advantages.” The Action will strengthen the capacities for
development of tourism, as well as define a tourism offer which will help to extend the tourist season and
diversify the economies of the cross border region.
This also makes it relevant for the priority identified in the second Call for Proposals: “Social and
economic cohesion through joint actions to improve physical, business, social and institutional
infrastructure and capacity”, specifically Measure I.1 - Improving the productivity and competitiveness of
the area’s economic, rural, cultural and environmental resources. By improving the institutional capacities,
social capital and business-to-business connections, the Action will strengthen the competitiveness of the
cross border area, as well as promote sustainable use of its economic, rural, cultural and environmental
resources.
The Action responds to the specific objectives of development of tourism as a key sector of the border
economy; strengthening the incentives for SME development in the border areas; and Promoting cross
border trade cooperation and accessibility to markets. The Action is based on a set of activities for
promoting tourism and improving the quality of tourism services in the cross border region, as well as
connecting and promoting the cooperation of tourism entrepreneurs, cultural institutions, tourism agencies
and other stakeholders. Developing a joint tourism offer and linking the sights will strengthen the appeal
of the cross-border region and help distinguish it from competitors.
The Action will address the cross-cutting issues of gender equality; protection of environment & nature
protection; and Public participation in decision-making processes. Special attention will be paid to equal
participation of men and women in all activities, especially in trainings and cross border visits, and
decision making processes (establishment of service provider associations). Protection of environment &
nature protection will be ensured by responsible and sustainable promotion of environmental resources
for tourism-related purposes. All protected areas will be clearly marked on maps to be printed within the
Action, and tourist guides will be trained about the importance and protection of these areas.
Public participation in decision-making processes will be ensured through public debate of tourism
development priorities in the cross-border region, including within the development of recommendations
and establishment of tourism associations.The project proposal harnesses the strengths of both countries
to address existing gaps. An important element in this concept is to bring different stakeholders that were
not usually working together to develop the new tourism products and set an example for future initiatives
in the project area.
The needs are clear as the tourist sector in the border region is lacking skills and capacities, organization
and effective promotion. The proposed actions will valorize the region’s potential as an important tourist
destination and thereby help to diversify its economy. It deals directly with target groups concerned in the
region and fosters cross-border communication and initiatives. Furthermore, the proposed actions will
enhance the region economically to strengthen its local resources and their marketability. The region has
a number of tourist destinations that are possible to market all year round and that could function as a
trans-boundary package. This will alleviate a region hit by economic distress, promote economic
development and deliver a viable and competent market.

Provide a description of the proposed Action including, where relevant, background information that led
to the formulation of the Action. This should include:
• Expected results (max 5 pages). Indicate how the Action will improve the situation of target
groups/beneficiaries as well as the technical and management capacities of target groups and/or any
local partners where applicable. Be specific and quantify results as much as possible. Indicate notably
foreseen publications. Describe the possibilities for replication and extension of the Action outcomes
(multiplier effects).
Result 1: Improved knowledge and developed management capacities of tourism service providers in the
cross border region
This set of activities will focus on direct support for strengthening the capacities of tourism service
providers in selected municipalities. Through specialized lectures and training, at least 100 beneficiaries
will receive information about categorization of accommodations, marketing and other issues, as well as
exercise their price setting and other skills.
Since the tourism sector in Serbia is currently more advanced than in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the action
will provide an opportunity for cross-border visits, thus facilitating an exchange of experiences and
lessons learned. In addition, through study tours to Slovenia and Romania, the action will enable tourism
service providers from selected municipalities to learn about the experiences of these countries,
especially in the context of EU accession processes.
40 tourism service providers will participate in the cross-border visits and another 40 in the study visits.
They will be selected based on their contribution at the tourism lectures and trainings. These activities will
result in greater awareness of participants about the necessary requirements for tourism business
development (including marketing, branding, story telling, product definition, etc.), improvement of cross
border networks and increased knowledge about tourism initiatives in the context of EU accession
processes. In addition, the cross-border visits will strengthen the links between entrepreneurs in the cross
border region, and greater familiarity with service providers to whom interested tourists can be referred to.
Result 2: Developed technical capacities of tourism service providers in the cross border region
The light infrastructure-related result of this action is expected to provide some of the most tangible and
immediate benefits and are targeted to address specific needs on both sides of the border. This type of
equipment is necessary for improving the quality of tourist destinations, but the local households often
lack funding for this type of investment – especially in the last two years as the economic crisis led to a
decrease in the number of tourists and tourism revenues.
Technical capacities will be improved through the provision of equipment to 40 households or small and
medium enterprises (SMEs), which will help them to improve the tourism offer in selected municipalities.
The equipment will include aesthetic and practical tools for making the tourists’ stay more comfortable
and making the locations easier to find (including welcome boards, seesaws and other equipment for
children, gazebos, etc.).
Equipment will be distributed through a public Call for Applications and a team of specialized independent
experts will be used in the selection process. Selection criteria will include the duration of tourism
business activity by the household, type of activity, number of overnights / visitors, proximity to tourist
sights or tours, and others. 37 of 177
Equipment will be distributed through a public Call for Applications and a team of specialized independent
experts will be used in the selection process. Selection criteria will include the duration of tourism
business activity by the household, type of activity, number of overnights / visitors, proximity to tourist
sights or tours, and others.
The Action will develop new promotional materials, including flyers for advertizing the Call for Applications
for households engaged in tourism, brochures for the associations established through the project, and
training materials. It is essential to provide well written and designed materials in order to (a) inform
service providers about the project activities and invite them to participate, and (b) inform tourists about
the attractions in the cross border region.
For the tourism service providers, information will also be provided through an electronic guide for mobile
phones. For the purposes of increasing visibility of the cross border region as a tourist destination, the
Action will develop a website with key information about tourism service providers, including a database
of pictures and description of services. The website information will also be accessible on mobile phones
with some additional data such as GPS location. Moreover, in order to achieve this result, it is also
necessary to directly address tourist agencies who can bring new tourists to the cross-border region,
establish cooperation with local service providers and feature their services.
The Action will organize 4 visits of domestic and international tourist agencies to the selected
municipalities – each visit will combine municipalities in Serbia and in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Developing recommendations for tourism development in the cross-border region of Serbia and Bosnia
and Herzegovina. Consultations with tourism service providers, municipalities, civil society (sports clubs,
women’s associations, etc) and other stakeholders will be held in the process of preparing the
recommendations (2 focus group workshops in Serbia and 2 in BiH). Two workshops will be done with
service providers and two with tourists.
Recommendations will include specific measures for development of different types of tourism, i.e. sports
and adventure visits, cultural and historic tours, gastronomical experiences, wellness and spa, etc. This
will help to feature the cross border region as a tourist destination for a broader group of visitors, including
transiting tourists, the diaspora and those seeking longer vacations. The recommendations will be
presented at the conference “Cross Border Cooperation in the Tourism Sector” in Zlatibor, with
participants from both countries. This will be a major event within the project, bringing together a variety
of local stakeholders and national officials. Lecturers from the EU will present good practices and results
of tourism promotion measures.
The Action will also ensure that all achievements are publically presented by organizing 2 press
conferences – 1 introductory conference for the project launch (at Zlatibor, Serbia), and one final project
conference (in Srebrenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina). This activity will also help ensure that local
stakeholders are informed about the project and know who to contact if they are interested to participate.
The basis for these activities comes from the relatively low capacity of tourism sector currently.Some
municipalities do not have local tourism organizations, while in others their capacity varies from 2-9
employees. In Serbia, the majority of international tourists remain in Belgrade and the tourist season in
other locations is limited usually to the skiing season. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, less than 25% of
tourists venture outside of Sarajevo, Neum and Mostar. According to UNWTO, the use of internet for
information/booking purposes is low: 22% in Serbia while in mature tourism countries it is over 80%.

Therefore, this action is necessary to strengthen the quality of tourism offer and help existing service
providers to establish new ways of cooperation, learn from each other and market their community and
surrounding region in the best possible way.

The methods of implementation and reasons for the proposed methodology;
The core methodology that will be applied within this action is based on inclusivity and joint design and
implementation. From planning to capacity development, substantial efforts will be made to ensure
stakeholder engagement and ownership of the outcomes. This approach is perceived to be essential not
only for maximizing participation by the target groups, but also for ensuring the sustainability of the action
beyond its actual implementation.
Best case practices as demonstrated by other EU funded efforts, UNDP efforts, USAID efforts, and other
donor-funded actions show that for there to be true success of the action, stakeholders must not only be
brought in to take part, but must be included in a capacity that gives the sense of self-control and direct
input into what it is that they will do. The design of this action has already taken this into account, working
with stakeholders in the field to ensure the design would match their needs.
At this point in the development of the tourism sector in the region, it is imperative that a common strategy
be developed and implemented concentrating on:
1. Increased communication and collaboration between stakeholders
2. Consistency and quality of the tourist offerings of the region
3. Improvement of human capacity and expansion of tourism offer
All of this will be in an effort to create an efficiently operational tourism sector that improves the quality of
life in the region and promotes the diversification of rural economy. As the stakeholders in the area
become more involved in any development strategy, increased communications among various
businesses and the local community will be necessary. The tourism stakeholders must communicate with
one another as well as participate in an open flow of information between communities.
Long-term success will hinge on whether both businesses and residents feel that they have a voice in the
strategic planning of their communities and have a conduit to communicate their thoughts to those in all
levels of government and relevant institutions. Additionally, local businesses and residents must use their
voice to communicate positive and negative issues not just to the government but also to each other.
• where the action is the prolongation of a previous action, explain how the action is intended to build on
the results of this previous action. Give the main conclusions and recommendations of evaluations that
might have been carried out;
UNDP Serbia is promoting rural tourism through capacity development of local stakeholders for
entrepreneurship in this field, promotion of investments (i.e. hosting the regional Tourism Investment
Forum in November 2011) and establishment of Local Action Groups.
Within the Joint Programme “Sustainable Tourism for Rural Development”, UNDP paid special attention
promoting activities in line with EU methodologies such as the LEADER approach and Local Action
Groups. The Progamme mid-term evaluation stated that “of particular relevance is Serbia’s preparation
for accession, and the role and impact access to IPARD funding can have on the country, and particularly
in relation to rural development. […] The national partners have benefited from their association with the
JP, particularly in terms of the technical assistance provided by UN Agencies in developing and preparing
Joint Programme initiatives with Ministry representatives.”

The action proposed herein does not replicate these efforts but the partnerships established in the cross-
border region will be useful for the subsequent implementation of the LEADER approach in both Serbia
and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Government of the Republic of Srpska is using Visegrad as one of the focal points for development
of tourism in the cross-border region and it produced a video about the UNESCO site bridge within the
project “Beautiful Srpska” (“Ljepsa Srpska”).
• where the action is part of a larger programme, explain how it fits or is coordinated with this programme
or any other possibly planned project. Please specify the potential synergies with other initiatives, in
particular from the European Commission;
The European Commission in Serbia is supporting two key projects in the field of tourism, both of which
are complementary to activities described herein:
1. “Capacity building for the establishment and implementation of a LEADER initiative in the Republic of
Serbia” (LIS).
In essence, LIS is providing assistance to a range of stakeholders – at local, regional and national levels
– to prepare for the future implementation of the LEADER approach to rural development in Serbia.
These stakeholders need to come together sufficiently well to support the preparation and implementation
of local area strategies and development action plans. It is this merging of multi-level layers of
governance that creates the conditions for sustainable rural development that responds to the needs of
local communities while at the same time acting in the wider public interest. Synergies with this project
exist in terms for formation of new partnerships which are a pre-condition for later implementation of the
LEADER approach and diversification or rural non-farm economies.
2. “Implementation of the National Tourism Strategy in Serbia” – the purpose of this project is to support
the tourism sector to implement a strategy and policy framework ensuring the link between tourism
potentials and economic development. Its main activities include capacity building of national actors,
making necessary revisions of the existing and development of new regulations in the tourism sector (as
per European standards), assessment of attractiveness, and consequently of the criteria for definition of
priorities in development and/or commercialisation of each of the identified tourist products and
establishment of unique tourist statistics and monitoring system for tracking the influence of tourism on
national economy.
The United Nations in Serbia are currently implementing the Joint Programme “Sustainable Tourism for
Rural Development” covering 19 municipalities which do not include those covered by the Action
proposed herein. The Programme supports the development of the National Master Plan for Rural
Tourism, environmental assessments of tourism initiatives, promotes the LEADER approach and the
establishment of Local Action Groups, etc. The Programme is implemented in cooperation with the
Ministry of Economy and Regional Development, Ministry of Agriculture, Trade, Forestry and Water
Management, and the Tourism Organization of Serbia. It will end in June 2012.
Although the target municipalities are different, synergies with this programme exist in terms of support for
new partnerships which are a pre-condition for later implementation of LEADER approach in Serbia and
Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In addition, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the EU is supporting the implementation of the project “Jahorina-
Zlatibor the magic way”, funded from 2009 IPA. The goals of this project are to strengthen the economic
development of rural areas and especially the mountainous cross-border region, establish long-term 46 of 177
cooperation between municipalities and improve the business climate in the tourism sector. The project
will strengthen the competitiveness of tourism offer on Jahorina and Zlatibor, as the main tourist centres
in the target region. The project will last 18 months. Among other things, the project includes development

in the target region. The project will last 18 months. Among other things, the project includes development
of biking paths, putting up 35 information boards, training of tourism workers and GPS positioning of this
region.
Other projects in the cross border region include “Posavina – Heaven for Hunting and Fishing” which
includes municipalities of Šamac, Brod, Modriča i Vukosavlje in Republika Srpska, Orašje, Odžak i
Domaljevac-Šamac in Croatia, Brcko District and Gradačac from Tuzlanski canton. This 20-month project
is providing training for 14 tourist guides in German and English languages as well as 7 thematic courses.
The value of the project is EUR 332,000.
The last two initiatives, focusing mainly on sport-related tourism, will have an important contribution to the
tourism offer in the cross border area and neighbouring regions. A sustained effort is needed to build on
these initiatives and maintain the momentum and interest of stakeholders. In addition, the Action
proposed herein will involve new municipalities thus expanding the networks and services, as well as add
the cultural and historical aspect to the tourism offer.
Indicators will be for: a) evaluation of the process (output) b) evaluation of the product (outcome).
a. Evaluation of the process will be for activities (done); inputs (money, materials, human resources
used); outputs (services done, materials produced and activities performed).
b. Evaluation of the product will be done based on the results and activities in the log frame matrix.

UNDP has extensive experience in this type of activity at the national, relational and municipal levels.
Agrocenter “Berba” will organize the tourism lectures, cross border, familiarization and study visits, and
tourist guide trainings. UNDP Serbia will be in charge of data collection, website development and
creation of promotional material.
The Government of Brcko District (Applicant 2) will facilitate the overall coordination in Bosnia and
Herzegovina and work closely with its partner, NGO “Drina”. The Government of Brcko District will also
participate in the selection of expert team members for the household Call for Applications, and will
procure the equipment for households on its territory. NGO “Drina” will procure the equipment for
households in Srebrenica and Brcko, as well as organize Familiarization visits for tourist agencies,
lectures for service providers and tourist guide trainings. NGO “Drina” has extensive networks of tourism
stakeholders, including tourist organizations, NGOs, businesses and others, and will be able to mobilize
them in the organization of trainings and promotional events.
The target groups singled out by the project have been selected due to their direct relevance to the
activities. In particular, travel agencies, tour operators, tourist guides, outdoor clubs, and tourism service
providers are all expected to be targeted for their clear central role in the development of tourism in the
region.
• the organisational structure and the team proposed for the implementation of the action (by function:
there is no need to include the names of individuals). The structure of the proposed team is:
- UNDP Project Manager
- UNDP Finance Administrator
- Agrocenter "Berba" Activity Coordinator
- Agrocenter BerbaTravel and Logistics Associate
• the main means proposed for the implementation of the action (equipment, materials, and supplies to be
acquired or rented);
- Human resources in the form of project managers/coordinators, advisory, trainers, technical,
administrative support
- Facilities for trainings and meetings
- Light tourism infrastructure
Applicants should not indicate a specific start up date for the implementation of the Action but simply
show "month 1", "month 2", etc.
Applicants are recommended to base the estimated duration for each activity and total period on the most
probable duration and not on the shortest possible duration by taking into consideration all relevant
factors that may affect the implementation timetable.
The activities stated in the Action plan should correspond to the activities described in detail in section
1.7. The implementing body shall be either the Applicant or any of the Partners, Associates or
Subcontractors. Any months or interim periods without activities must be included in the Action Plan and
count toward the calculation of the total estimated duration of the Action.
The Action plan for the first 12 months of implementation should be sufficiently detailed to give an
overview of the preparation and implementation of each activity. The Action plan for each of the
subsequent years may be more general and should only list the main activities foreseen for those years.
To this end, it shall be divided into six-month interim periods (NB: A more detailed Action Plan for each
subsequent year will have to be submitted before receipt of new pre-financing payments, pursuant to
Article 2.1 of the General Conditions of the Grant Contract).

1.10. Sustainability (max 3 pages)
Describe the main preconditions and assumptions during and after the implementation phase.
• Provide a detailed risk analysis and possible contingency plans. This should include at least a list of
risks associated with each activity proposed accompanied by relevant corrective measures to mitigate
such risks. A good risk analysis would include a range of risk types including physical,
environmental, political, economic and social risks.
• Explain how sustainability will be secured after completion of the Action. This can include aspects of
necessary measures and strategies built into the Action, follow-up activities, ownership by target
groups etc.
In doing so, please make a distinction between the following dimensions of sustainability:
• Financial sustainability (financing of follow-up activities, sources of revenue for covering all future
operating and maintenance costs, etc.);
• Institutional level (which structures would allow, and how, the results of the Action to continue be in
place after the end of the Action? Address issues about the local "ownership" of Action outcomes);
• Policy level where applicable (What structural impact will the Action have - e.g. will it lead to
improved legislation, codes of conduct, methods, etc.);
• Environmental sustainability (what impact will the Action have on the environment – have conditions
put in place to avoid negative effects on natural resources on which the Action depends and on the
broader natural environment).
There is a risk of depopulation resulting from unfavorable demographic trends and the aging of the local
populations. Additionally, there are risks associated with the complexity of tourism data and concepts and
the absorption capacity of participants in educational activities. Contingencies for these risks are as
follows: to address the depopulation and aging issue, this activity set will seek to implement and inclusive
methodology that will target the residents less likely to be affected by this trend;
To address any potential problems with uptake of knowledge provided by those who receive training, the
trainings will be designed to avoid complexities and will allow the trainees to gain an experiential aspect
that should aid in material comprehension while the established guidelines will provide the ability to
review the materials beyond the activities implementation. Environmental risks are not substantial, but
neither are they marginal. Considerations must be given to areas of risk such as garbage being dumped
along scenic routes impacting destination desirability and tourists veering off nature paths into biodiversity
hotspots. Tourist guides will be trained on these issues, and tourist maps (printed within the project) will
clearly mark protected areas.
Risks associated with the activities under communication do exist but are reasonably manageable. The
predominant risks are associated with possible inter-ethnic intolerance due to the history of conflict, but
also the costs of various activities and whether the desired levels will be achievable, the level of media
interest and attendance at the key events which are necessary to have a positive impact. The risk of
inter-ethnic intolerance will be overcome through regular communication of all partners and participatory
approach in the planning and implementation of all activities, which will enable all stakeholders to have
equal treatment and open communication with the organizers.
Possible issues with prices will be addressed by using competitive EU procedures for services which
function to ensure best value for the money. Media interest will be ensured through proper timing of
activities, i.e. by providing links with domestic tourism events, so that interest is higher for that type of
story as a lead-in to the events.

activities, i.e. by providing links with domestic tourism events, so that interest is higher for that type of
story as a lead-in to the events.
Preconditions and assumptions: One of the preconditions for project implementation is the willingness of
tourism entrepreneurs and other stakeholders to work together in implementation of trainings, lectures,
study and household visits, etc. An assumption for successful implementation of the project is a stable
political situation in the border region, on both sides of the border, and that the trend of improvement of
bilateral relations between the two countries (Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina) will continue.
Additionally it is assumed that the easing of the global economic crisis will reduce its negative impact on
the tourism sector both from the domestic markets as well as inbound international markets.
Sustainability:
This project is developed using existing organizations and will improve and strengthen relationships
between stakeholders as a result of this investment by the EU. The participatory, multi-stakeholder
approach described in the methodology section above will enable private, public and civil society
stakeholders to influence the future development. This approach builds ownership of the process and
ensures that development is in line with the needs of communities.
Sustainability is defined as the continuation of benefits from the action beyond the period of EU financing.
The success of this project is based on good cooperation among all stakeholders which are directly
involved in the project, NGO actors, private sector representatives, museums, tourism organizations, etc.
Financially, all of the partners to the project have been active in the areas covered by this project and will
continue to be so. In Serbia, Ministry of Economy and Regional Development (responsible for tourism)
will continue to support further implementation and maintenance of activities in this field. Tourism is
perceived as an important means for increasing employment in underdeveloped municipalities and rural
areas. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, all entities and municipalities will continue to promote tourism as a
means of economic development but also key for improving the international perception of the country.
New partnership achieved through this project will support continued discussion and agreement on joint
issues, as well as other follow-up joint projects. The development of capacities in terms of technical
capacities and human resources, and from the stand point of networking, will provide all stakeholders
with strengthened capacities, not just individually, but more importantly, cooperatively.
