The project - co-funded in 2012 by the European Commission, Enterprise and Industry Directorate-General - aims at contributing to the lack of a common and coordinated European communication and
marketing strategy for cultural tourism initiatives.
The project is developing an integrated promotion and visibility strategy shared by the 3 transnational routes
Francigena-Santiago-Olav (FSO) recognized by the Council of Europe.
- Main objectives of the project are:
- Innovative marketing
- Assured quality and wider involvement of enterprises
- Increased visibility of the three Routes
The Council of Europe’s cultural routes programme recognizes cultural routes illustrating Europe’s varied past, present and future, promotes democratic participation and access to culture for all, encourages the transmission of cultural heritage to future generations and communicate its value.
One of the criteria for the certification of a route as cultural route of the Council of Europe is to offer “tourist products” to visitors.
The threefold aims of this requirement are to ensure that visitors have sufficient information to enable them to:
- travel to, fro and along the route,
- find local food and a place to stay, and possibly
- take something back with them from their journey.
Thinking in terms of ‘products’ leads projects to identify and satisfy the different needs of the visitors.
Finally, sustainable & respectful tourism is a proven way to promote regional socio-economic development around lasting values and authentic heritage.
The FSO flag product publication (downloadable here) is one concrete and welcome result of this joint
initiative.
A special section for CERTO project is available in the Lead Partner webportal.

The Tour Box prototype was created to promote the marketing cooperation among the FSO routes. The product slogan is :
GÖNN DIR EINEN PILGERWEG
TREAT YOURSELF TO A PILGRIMAGE
REGALATI UN CAMMINO
Starting in Spring 2013 and thanks to the collaboration with Eatinerari, the Tour Box will enter the Italian market, to be gradually tested and distributed afterwards in other European regions.
In collaboration with the Municipality of Santiago de
Compostela, on January 31, 2013 the Stand of the Galicia region in FITUR Madrid hosted the presentation of the innovative "Tour Box" on European Cultural Routes.
The project partners attended also two other Fairs: BIT Milan in mid February 2013 (photo) and ITB Berlin in March 2013, where CERTESS project, the Tour Box and other project initiatives were presented to the visitors.
