How the HibriturSelva partnership promotes economic development through tourism innovations

Introduction

La Selva is a district in Catalonia located between the mountain range known as the Serralada Transversal and the Costa Brava. The tourism sector of this picturesque county has a rather fragmented structure: Tourists flock to the coastal area but there is not much tourism inlands. In 2013 the Comarque Council (about 170,000 inhabitants) has taken the lead in developing the HibriturSelva partnership which aims at diversifying tourism in the region of La Selva through a set of innovations.

Read how this partnership supports SMEs to develop innovations and what has been achieved so far.
