19 Students at ASPIRA University of Applied Sciences in Split recently participated in an engaging event dedicated to the OMNIS project, which focuses on enhancing accessible tourism. The session aimed to educate and involve students in welcoming blind, visually impaired travelers, and those accompanied by service dogs presenting to them the training session produced by the project.

The event began with Neno Bašić-Kostadinović from Shuttle Travel Agency presenting the OMNIS Project and outlining the day's agenda. Following the opening, students engaged in training sessions focused on accessible tourism practices. To measure the effectiveness of the training, attendees completed surveys both before and after the sessions.

The day concluded with a brainstorming session, where participants shared their innovative ideas for accessible activities and experiences. This initiative was part of the ongoing call for ideas led by project partners, encouraging students to contribute to the potential of accessible tourism in their region.

Overall, the event was a great success, providing valuable insights and fostering a more inclusive approach to tourism.

As part of the OMNIS project, from May 17th to 19th, the Shuttle travel agency organized a cross-border exchange visit to test and validate the inclusive sustainable itineraries and packages aimed at blind and visually impaired tourists and tourists traveling with guide dogs and pets. A panel of 10 tourists from Italy visited Split and Split-Dalmatia County and got to know the local culture, customs, gastronomy, and wines.

On the first day of the visit, after the tourists arrived by overnight ferry from Italy, a guided tour of the old city center of Split and Diocletian's Palace was organized, and the tour was adapted for blind and visually impaired people. After the tour, the group visited the family olive farm, where they had a tour of the olive grove, followed by olive oil tasting and a traditional lunch. The day ended with a trip to the interior of Dalmatia and the town of Sinj, where the participants of the exchange visited the Sinj Alka Museum, which presents the centuries-old heritage related to this knight game, including Alkar uniforms, equipment, and weapons with multimedia installations. Tourists were allowed to touch the exhibits.

On the second day of the visit, the group traveled to the hinterland of Omiš, where they participated in the culinary workshop making the traditional dish called soparnik and visited the History Museum of Poljica. Also, with professional guidance, they made their own souvenirs that will remain as a lovely memory of this trip. After lunch next to the mill by the river Žrnovnica, the tourists enjoyed a wine tasting in the Split wine bar where they got to know local wines, which concluded this exchange.

Next is the visit of Croatian tourists to Italy, which will take place from the 25th to the 27th of June in Cagli.

Celebrating Europe Day: Embracing Opportunities and Gratitude

Today, the OMNIS Project celebrates cross-border cooperation between Italy and Croatia. Interreg is a key European Union instrument that strengthens collaboration between regions and countries within the EU. Thanks to the Interreg Italy-Croatia Programme, the European Union is giving us the opportunity to empower tourism stakeholders to create accessible experiences for pet-friendly and visually impaired travelers. Partners are working hard to conclude the activities outlined by the project, particularly the exchange visits. From the 17th to the 19th of May, a panel of Italian tourists will visit Split, while from the 25th to the 27th of June, a panel of Croatian tourists will be in Cagli. These visits are intended to test and validate the OMNIS project itineraries and packages. Stay tuned for updates, and cheers to the European Union, unity, diversity, and collaboration on this special day!

OMNIS Launches Call for Ideas to Engage Local Tourism Stakeholders

The Catria and Nerone Mountain Union and Shuttle have disseminated a call for ideas aimed at gathering insights on accessible and sustainable points of interest, itineraries, and experiences (such as visits and restaurants). Additionally, Risposte Turismo will encourage the involvement of students and young people. The call also seeks to identify potential obstacles in these points of interest, marking a novel approach in the tourism sector.
Specifically, the call aims to gather "hyperlocal" insights, leveraging the collective wisdom of local stakeholders for a diverse range of ideas. Its objectives extend to mapping the territory's attractions, focusing on accessibility, and uncovering hidden gems. By identifying accessibility challenges, the aim is to enhance inclusive experiences for all travelers. Furthermore, promoting sustainability is integral, ensuring initiatives align with preserving natural and cultural heritage.
The call is directed at local tourism stakeholders, preferably those who have participated in the training sessions. Their contributions play a crucial role in crafting accessible, sustainable, and memorable tourism experiences for two target traveler groups often overlooked by traditional tourism practices, yet possessing significant market potential for territorial development. Especially for public bodies, this is an opportunity to enrich the territory's tourism offerings and promote local best practices in accessibility. For tourist companies offering accessible services, inclusion in the tourist packages we co-create together offers visibility on a website dedicated to showcasing these products.
To engage as many stakeholders as possible, an event will be held in May to introduce the call, providing participants with an opportunity to offer feedback during the event itself.
