Objectives and results
The main objective of the events festival was the territorial and tourist enhancement of the places and municipalities along the axis of the river Sile, in the province of Treviso.
Following an intense activity of territorial animation, the project website was created, which, in addition to promoting the events festival, provides information and news on the territory, travel itineraries with different themes and suggestions on venues, accommodation and activities. In addition to the promotional video, the festival was equipped with a tourist card, called SileCard, which allowed the tasting of typical local dishes in selected venues along the river, as well as a series of conventions with local companies providing tourist services and others.
