informing about World Heritage and making it even more interesting

KREATIV is a German acronym meaning "cultural regional development (emphasizing small and medium-sized companies) through more attractive tourism infrastructure and networking in the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Mines of Rammelsberg, Historic Town of Goslar and Upper Harz Water Management System". With the help of the project it is intended to make the extensive UNESCO World Heritage Site more visible for locals and guests on various levels according to the "Educational Mission World Heritage" of UNESCO. Through a significant increase in the attractiveness and quality of the inter-regionally important tourism infrastructure, it is intended to open up the World Heritage Site in the Harz for sustainable cultural tourism. The measures thereby make a positive contribution to regional development and strengthening of the small and medium-sized businesses in the region.
