ITALIAN TOURISTS TRAVELED TO SPLIT AS PART OF THE CROSS-BORDER EXCHANGE VISIT

As part of the OMNIS project, from May 17th to 19th, the Shuttle travel agency organized a cross-border exchange visit to test and validate the inclusive sustainable itineraries and packages aimed at blind and visually impaired tourists and tourists traveling with guide dogs and pets. A panel of 10 tourists from Italy visited Split and Split-Dalmatia County and got to know the local culture, customs, gastronomy, and wines.

On the first day of the visit, after the tourists arrived by overnight ferry from Italy, a guided tour of the old city center of Split and Diocletian's Palace was organized, and the tour was adapted for blind and visually impaired people. After the tour, the group visited the family olive farm, where they had a tour of the olive grove, followed by olive oil tasting and a traditional lunch. The day ended with a trip to the interior of Dalmatia and the town of Sinj, where the participants of the exchange visited the Sinj Alka Museum, which presents the centuries-old heritage related to this knight game, including Alkar uniforms, equipment, and weapons with multimedia installations. Tourists were allowed to touch the exhibits.

On the second day of the visit, the group traveled to the hinterland of Omiš, where they participated in the culinary workshop making the traditional dish called soparnik and visited the History Museum of Poljica. Also, with professional guidance, they made their own souvenirs that will remain as a lovely memory of this trip. After lunch next to the mill by the river Žrnovnica, the tourists enjoyed a wine tasting in the Split wine bar where they got to know local wines, which concluded this exchange.

Next is the visit of Croatian tourists to Italy, which will take place from the 25th to the 27th of June in Cagli.
