An ETAP announcement says the aim of the project is to strengthen the sustainable cultural tourism of the Mediterranean, through the creation of ecological routes within the European Cultural Routes.

According to the announcement, the general objective of the MED-Routes project is to create and transmit a Mediterranean model of sustainable tourism in 4 cultural routes in the Mediterranean region and to create a specific model of Mediterranean "slow tourism" that has its roots in common heritage of four Mediterranean cultural routes.

The 4 cultural routes are: 1) Ceramics Cultural Route 2) Phoenician Cultural Route 3) Olive Streets and 4) European Federation of Napoleonic Cities.

The project involves eight European partners from Italy, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Greece, Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Cyprus and the visit to Faenza is taking place from 6 to 8 February.
