Description

Relavia’s operations focus on running a resort complex comprising 2 hotels and a marina on Solina Lake in the Bieszczady Mountains. Under the project we want to expand our business by introducing an innovative tourist service called “group watercatching” on Solina Lake. The service combines recreational sailing and a LARP-type outdoor game with new information technology and augmented reality (AR) technology to explore the secrets of the lake. This group game uses a smartphone application, and will revolve around “markers” on the cultural-historical and natural aspects of the lake and its surroundings. These markers are places where you can see what is hidden below the water level. The application will show 5 markers on the lake, and 5 in its surroundings. The game will be played during the entire tourist season. At the end of the season, the person or team with the highest number of points will receive an attractive prize.
To participate in the “group watercatching” networking game, no less than 10 business partners with their services and products will be invited.  An IT system for selling services and managing the game and fleet of vessels will be created under the project. Our Norwegian partner, FLYTENDE BOLIG AS, will develop the AR application and the rules of the game. This app structure will then be filled by Relavia with information related to the history of the Solina Lake, while the partner will use it to implement a “group watercatching” game dedicated to the history of Normans and Vikings. 
Relavia will adapt and expand the marina infrastructure, including the erection of 2 piers of 48m and 19m, and purchase a floating fleet (catamarans, bowrider boats, cabin boats) and tablets. The use of a photovoltaic installation and a station for collecting liquid waste from vessels will reduce our environmental impact. The trademark will be registered under the international procedure.
