The settlements of the region, as well as the Mária Út Association, set the goal of developing pilgrimage routes, which can only be realized in cross-border cooperation, as it is based on common environmental conditions, cultural and religious traditions and heritage.

The aim of the project is to compile route offers, tourist packages for pilgrims and active tourists, to organize and implement events in response to the needs of the region.

Through the developments, a real tourism offer will be created on the basis of the existing services, we want to increase the number of visitors to the area by promoting the compiled package offers, using appropriate marketing tools, and the development will have a beneficial effect on the local economy.

The quantifiable results of the project include the survey and recording of the recommended routes, the cadastre of service providers, the compilation of a database, the tour offers compiled during the promotional activities, and the events organized within the project.
