c) participating in inter-european networking activities between Austria (West Styria), Switzerland (Zurich), Germany (Saarland, Bremen) and Poland (Oppeln) for mutual exchange of tourism and other economic activities like manufacturing etc.
Expected results are:
a) Laktasi (and wider Laktasi Region) promoted (primary) in Austria in establishing contacts to Austrian tourist agencies (like retired people`s association);
