Together we discussed the project activities and learned about the best practices from Russian entrepreneurs. In addition, the participants were able to make valuable contacts for potential future cooperations and found out more about Gatchina and its tourist attractions.

 

The most important upcoming development activities of Via Hanseatica Plus project are: renewing the travel planner, marketing activities (including campaigns, fairs, social media and advertising) and of course cooperation with travel agencies. For stakeholders, there are different study tours and trainings planned in Estonia and Russia.
