| Summary: | The report examines the current tourism
development and market of the Prešovský Samosprávny Kraj,
Presov Self-Governing Region (PSK), focusing particularly on
the lagging district of Snina and the National Park of
Poloniny, and the opportunities for their improvement as
potential drivers of equitable local economic growth in the
PSK. It is being conducted in support of the European
Commission (EC's) Catching Up Regions Initiative. The
PSK location and its unique natural and cultural heritage
features make it a tourism-friendly potential destination.
The Snina District and National Poloniny Park (NPP) have
many challenges to address in order to realize the growth
benefits of their tourism sector. This report recommends a
set of interrelated actions to create the cohesion needed to
stimulate tourism as a major economic driver for the region. |
