Short description
The RECOOPER Project has been jointly implemented by the Chamber of Economy of the Federation of BiH and INTERA Technology Park since April 2022 with the goal of recovery of the tourism sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Through a number of activities, the Project will contribute to strengthening the capacities of tour operators and branding Herzegovina as a destination for digital nomads. Through the initial project activities, 20 micro, small, and medium enterprises providing accommodation, catering, transport, tours, recreational and other activities, have the opportunity to attend workshops during which they learn about the needs of digital nomads, but also about digital marketing, copywriting, branding, and sale. In cooperation with experts, they are working on an action plan based on which they will be able to adapt their services to the needs of their target group.
Part of the project is also the development of a web platform as the central point where digital nomads will be able to find all information they need for their stay, while 20 tour operators will be able to present their services there. Along with branding Herzegovina as a destination for digital nomads under the slogan “Work’n’Sunshine“, through a one-month pilot programme, the Project will host individuals from this population and present to them the region’s potential, and additionally strengthen the capacities of the operators involved, but also generally enhance the tourist offer and the business environment in Herzegovina. The Project is co-financed by the European Union and the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany through the EU4BusinessRecovery Project. EU4BusinessRecovery is a European Union project providing support to Bosnia and Herzegovina in mitigating the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is worth EUR 13.7 million, and is jointly financed by the European Union (EUR 13 million) and the Federal Republic of Germany (EUR 700 000). It has been implemented by GIZ, ILO, and UNDP since January 2021 and will continue through June 2023. More on EU4BusinessRecovery at www.eu4business.ba
