Tourism in the Jiu Valley benefits from an investment of over EUR 146.5 thousand, funded through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), aimed at digitalizing and modernizing the cultural experience. The project, titled “DESTINATION JIU VALLEY: digital transformation and cultural experience”, is implemented by Petrila Town Hall in partnership with the Jiu Valley Destination Management Organization (DMO).
The investment includes the purchase of an electric tourist train, consisting of a locomotive and passenger carriages, to facilitate eco-friendly visitor access within the Petrila Village Museum, alongside the installation of modern video surveillance, alarm, and access control systems for heritage protection. At the regional level, the project provides for the creation of an integrated digital platform for tourism information and promotion, which will feature an interactive map with thematic routes, a centralized events calendar, and analytical tools to monitor visitor flows for evidence-based decision-making across the sector.
