Inspiration and examples of good practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the discussion, a number of examples of good practice from various regions were highlighted \u2013 ranging from themed tours, creative activities and regional newspapers to original souvenirs and activities for children. These ideas provided plenty of inspiration for the future work of tourist information centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key takeaway from the meeting was that tourism is not just about information, but above all about emotions, experiences and stories. Tourist information centres play a vital role in connecting visitors, regions and local stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are delighted that such meetings bring regions together, provide an opportunity to share experiences and generate new ideas ahead of the summer season. This is also confirmed by the growing number of signatories to the \u201eMemorandum of Cooperation between Tourist Information Centres in the Pre\u0161ov Region\u201c, which was initiated last year by the OOCR \u0160ari\u0161 region<\/a> and the OOCR Severn\u00fd Spi\u0161 Pieniny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The afternoon programme included a visit to the Andy Warhol Museum of Modern Art and the Mini Open-Air Museum in Medzilaborce, where participants discovered the town\u2019s major cultural and tourist attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The working meeting resulted in new contacts, practical recommendations, an exchange of promotional materials and plenty of inspiration for future work. For the OOCR \u0160ari\u0161 Region, the event was particularly beneficial in terms of gaining new ideas, establishing partnerships and developing services for visitors to the \u0160ari\u0161 region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
