MEDINA Portal
This transnational web portal aims at promoting and supporting the development of culture-oriented tourism through the Mediterranean. The portal address the multiple aspects of cultural heritage in this area, including material heritage, handicrafts, folk traditions, performing arts and gastronomy, and proposes a series of “Thematic Pathways for Cultural Tourism”, that guide the user in a “virtual tour” and that provide related cultural and tourist information. It highlights the local identity of nine Mediterranean countries involved in the MEDINA project (co-financed by the European Union through the EUMEDIS Program). This portal is mainly devoted to "cultural tourists", who live a vacation as a learning experience - an opportunity to discover unexploited resources of an area - and look for original, engaging, and customized travelling proposals. Wishing you a pleasant experience in the Medina Portal!
