Funding tourism and promotion of the area with LEADER
Action sheet no. 3 targets promoting the area, renovating or developing accommodation, catering, nature-based tourism, tourist activities and adaptation for disabilities. The intervention rules distinguish categories of operations and set caps for each: a project’s overall cap must not be confused with the cap applicable to a given cost.
Are you developing accommodation, an outdoor activity, a catering offer or a collective tourism promotion action? Action sheet no. 3 of the Pays des 7 Rivières LAG supports upgrading the offer and touring, particularly as part of a sustainable and accessible destination. Funding depends on the precise operation and the caps in the financial rules.
