This has been a very challenging time
for the development of tourism, therefore
an on-line campaign, #MameSvetovyKraj
(world-famous region), was initiated
to support tourism in the region, promoted
by a challenge on social networks. Important
personalities of the region and all tourists
may contribute with their ideas of what the
region offers.
The principal idea of the campaign is
to introduce places of interest in the
Moravian-Silesian Region, which may easily
compete with great attractions of global
reputation, and may bring more visitors to
our region. Most of the promoted locations
relate to such world-famous places by
similar looks but also through extraordinary
stories and inspiring personalities.
