Part of the support measure is directing the flow of tourists through thoughtfully designed infrastructure and creating a networking and cooperation with all national parks in Slovakia. A Sustainable Tourism Development Strategy and other necessary documents for better management of the national parks will be created (in one case updated) for each park. A unified smart tourist information application and website will help to inform and educate visitors effectively and modernly. New sustainable tourism offers will be created, regional identity and ties will be strengthened, sustainable tourism will be encouraged and local products will be promoted. The Alliance of National Parks will be established.
