In this regard, San Marino has presented a report on the funding already obtained in the European context. Further possible fundraising initiatives to support the project and the areas were then evaluated.
A meeting with all the municipalities of the TTT project will be organized soon during which the Italian Ministry will present the regulatory interventions for new forms of financing to which small municipalities and villages in particular will be able to access (even in aggregate form) with the aim of further developing local tourism.
On San Marino's proposal, the importance of paying maximum attention to structural projects of common interest was shared, such as the valorisation of the International Airport of Rimini and San Marino, the definition of new thematic areas in the tourist itineraries of the TTT territories, the valorisation of religious and walking tourism.
