CASE STUDIES FROM OUR PROJECTS


Tourism Product and Brand Development   Training and Capacity Building
 

With the objective to enhance the development of sustainable mountain tourism in the cross-border triangle of Albania Montenegro and Kosovo the Tourism Expert Barbara Fritz developed, on behalf of the GIZ and in close cooperation with local stakeholders, the concept of a cross-border hiking trail, connecting the three mountain regions. To professionally market the trail and create a tangible tourism product, a brand has been commonly developed: the “Peaks of the Balkans” (www. peaksofthebalkans.com). The local stakeholders have been awarded with the Tourism for Tomorrow award for this outstanding tourism product and for the commitment of three countries.

 

Within the framework of the Green Star Hotel (www. greenstarhotel.com) project, AGEG developed and established a national eco-certification system for the Egyptian hotel industry. This involved the development of a complete training and capacity building programme. The programme targeted, not only hotel staff, but also the hotel middle management to enable them to further train their staff. Applying that system, over 500 hotel representatives in 14 Egyptian Destinations were trained during the project.

 
 
High Level Event with the Ministry of Tourism   Sustainability project with the private sector
 

To officially launch the Green Star Hotel certification programme (www.greenstarhotel.org) on a national scale and to inaugurate the local Green Star Hotel office, AGEG, in close cooperation with the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism organised the official launching event in Cairo. The high level participants ranged from the Egyptian Tourism minister to the German ambassador and included top representatives from the public and private Egyptian tourism sector.

 

Within the framework of a develoPPP.de GIZ partnership the DAV summit Club, one of the leading mountain tourism tour operators, and GIZ joint forces to commonly enhance the development of high quality mountain tourism and to raise the competitiveness in the Peaks of the Balkans Region.
