Republika Srpska, which includes the project’s pilot site of East Herzegovina region, is experiencing a surge in rural tourism. Local communities have seen a growing number of visitors, with rural households expanding their accommodation capacity to meet the demand.

The SMART ERA project, in collaboration with partners like the “Slow Food Trebinje” association, focuses on enhancing tourism in rural areas by utilizing modern technologies and best practices. The project aims to create sustainable economic opportunities, preserve cultural heritage, and encourage local development. This initiative is helping to reduce outmigration and support rural economies.
