Since 2006 the Association has been engaged in the development of cultural tourism in Lublin, the city where the West meets the East. The International Congress for Lovers of "West - East" Routes we organize every year is an opportunity to meet the enthusiasts of European cultural routes, i.e. people who travel along them and people who are committed to revive them. Our Association is the member of the Tourism Organisation “Jagiellonian Route”. We co-organise the Jagiellonian Fairs with the Centre for Culture from Lublin.

We revive the historic European routes that used to link Latin and Byzantine civilisations including "Via Regia – Major Cultural Road of the Council of Europe, "Santiago de Compostela and Bruges - Lublin - Kiev and Vilnius”, and in particular the "Jagiellonian Trail" Cracow - Lublin - Vilnius and "Merchants’ Route" Wroclaw - Lublin - Lviv. The enthusiasts of these routes who can give an account of their travels are awarded the Lublin Certificate of “West – East” Routes; other speakers can be granted with the Lublin Certificate of “West – East” Meetings.
