Final presentation for \'Understanding Travel and Tourism\' couse at Hanze University of Applied Sciences.
Our group was asked to conduct a research on building a walking route in Groningen province.
Our whole idea covers 3 elements of Entertainment, Education and Agriculture, which we believe offer beneficial value and attraction for families with small children (2 - 12 years old)
The project was prepared for Het Plattelandshuis
