When establishing the model of smart villages, we selected 3 key areas along the entire area of the municipality of Kungota in Svečina:
- connecting providers
- active involvement of young people
- elimination of barriers caused by the non-coverage of the area with a wi-fi network
- establishment of social networks
- implementation of a boutique event, as a gala wine-culinary evening with a cultural touch
We carried out activities within the project Smart Villages, Flagship Products, Inno-Rural and with voluntary work and knowledge that we transferred from our work and other work environments for the benefit of the development of the municipality and Svečina as a boutique tourist destination.

Promotion of the destination Svečina on social networks (Visit Svečina, istigram svicina), unique stories of connecting winemakers in a gala wine culinary evening, establishing digitalization in an area with tight wi-fi areas and mobile applications for locals and visitors, joint promotion at fairs, publications in media.
