Our Hidden City Tor Tour project showcasing as a best practice, supported by the International Visegrad Fund, has reached an important stage. Using the professional material of the Hidden City Tor-Tour, invented and developed by the People First Public Benefit Association, we provided online training to our Polish and Czech partners. They then developed their own versions, which we visited in study tours to learn from each other. The first professional presentation took place in Pécs/Hungary, then we visited the Polish version in Poznan, and now we saw the Czech version of the Hidden City in Vrchlabi/Czech Republic, on 19-21 August.
A fantastic experience to watch three different cities, as three completely different approaches to the Hidden City sensitizing downtown walks are implemented. You may already know the Hungarian version, we hope many of you have already participated in one. If you haven’t yet, contact us, we are the best offer for corporate team building, school activities or an unconventional walk in Pécs with your friends! You can contact us here: info@peoplefirst.hu
Poznań is a much bigger city than Pécs, it would be difficult to do a circle walk of the city centre with a Hidden City Tor Tour, you have to choose your route carefully. However, that is why it is worth offering several route options here. There are accessibility challenges in this beautiful and touristically popular city, so it is worth involving the city administration and working together on these in the near future.
Vrchlabi is a small mountain town in a unique geological setting, which is definitely worth incorporating into a Hidden City project. You could even organise a special variation of accessible tours, as the local national park management seems to be interested. The small town offers a new experience with new features, and there is plenty more to bring to the attention of decision-makers and the public.
The next important step in our joint V4 project “Walk in our shoes” will be a final conference in the near future, where we will talk about the importance of accessible tourism, present the results of the project and broaden the partnership, which we welcome all those who wish to join through our interactive Platform. If you would like to participate in the online small conference to close the project and you speak English, you can already let us know, we look forward to welcoming you: info@peoplefirst.hu.
