Evidence of success
The aims mentioned above were achieved by implementing the following:
•Nyirbator: building a Visitors Centre, Riding Hall and Greek Catholic Church
•Carei: building of the Riding Hall and a Panoptic in the Castle Károlyi
The beneficiaries are the citizens of both municipalities along with villages, settlements within the region. However the estimated number of direct beneficiaries from the project exceeded expectations, with tourists visiting these points of interest from outside the region.

Potential for learning or transfer
We consider that the project has potential for learning due to the following factors:
• Being a CB project, is a good example of CB cooperation of partners from two different countries, good coordination, collaboration and management
• Great support from the local population and their appreciation for this project
• Transformation of an abandoned structure with historical value that became one of the key tourism points of the city
• A step forward in preserving historical values of the region
• Potential of knowledge transfer for other CB regions
The implementation of the project helped improve the image of the cities, regional tourism and good basis for future partnerships. We consider CB DESTINATION a success that should be studied, applied, improved and used for future applicants. The valuable knowledge still lies beneath the structure of the project and improvements can be made for future projects.
