Week 1

This week, we established a weekly schedule for meetings with both our collaborators in Romania and our Advisors via Zoom. A project website containing all the information about our project and our written project proposal and final proposal presentation slides was created. Additionally, we established a rough outline of the website deliverable and defined the different stakeholder groups to be separated into subcategories on the website. The broadest tier of this is tourists, researchers and journalists from outside the regions, and local businesses. We have identified several features that will be extremely useful for the destination and are currently working to establish what we can accomplish within the project timeframe. Currently, the website’s about page contains all the necessary information, as well as a feature that allows members to add new events to the website database. Next week, we intend to add further information about the destination and continue to develop key features to assist the ecotourism initiative in the region.
