Wikipedia:Regio TriRhena

RegioTriRhena  is a trinational platform for political cooperation and tourism in the southern Upper Rhine including German, French and Swiss cities within the urban agglomerations of Colmar, Freiburg im Breisgau, Mulhouse, Lörrach and Basel and Baselland. It brings together cities, groups of municipalities and other local authorities, but also economic organizations, higher education establishments, as well as associations.

History
The RegioTriRhena council was created in 1995 on the initiative of the three associations Regio by Basiliensis, Regio du Haut-Rhin and Reggio Gesellschaft Schwarzwald-Oberrhein and incorporated under German law in 2003.

Organisation
Each national delegation consists of a maximum of 25 members, or 75 members in all for the council. The latter ensure the activities of the council and its financing. The base of the RegioTriRhena council are the general or plenary assembly (which is held twice a year), the management committee composed of 15 members (5 per country) and the management board composed of the President and two Vice-Presidents, elected for two years. The General Secretariat is provided by the General Secretaries of the three Regio associations as well as the Council Secretary.

The European area covers approximately 8,700 km 2 and includes 2.3 million inhabitants. There are more than 40% of cross-border workers around the ETB (Eurodistrict Trinational de Bâle), mostly bilingual German-French on the Alsatian side. The Euroregion has already promoted many large projects such as the EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg. Other projects oriented towards non-profit objectives have been developed with the idea of sustainable development., for the conservation and improvement of the quality of life, the conservation of the historical and cultural heritage, professional and university training with the aim of ever more dynamic European cooperation. Fairs, exhibitions, congresses and conferences are also organized by the Euroregion, in order to inform and involve potential investors, partners, job seekers, consumers or ordinary civilians in the activity of associations and of participating companies.

Tourism
Tourism TriRhena is a trinational tourism project carried out by Basel and the canton of Basel-Land (Switzerland), Colmar and Mulhouse (France), Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany) and EuroAirport Basle-Mulhouse-Freiburg im Breisgau. For 15 years the tourist offices of Basel, Colmar, Mulhouse and Friborg have actively cooperated with EuroAirport Bâle-Mulhouse-Friborg. Within the framework of the transnational promotion program Interreg II, the first joint advertising publications are produced. In 2005, the tourist portal http://www.tourismtrirhena.com was born, fruit of the project "The tourist portal for the Regio TriRhena". This project, in which Basel-Landschaft has been admitted as a member, is promoted by the European Union through the Interreg III program. The project is co-financed by the European Union and the Swiss Confederation. The aim of this project is to promote tourism in the border region, both at the natural, cultural, gastronomic level, etc. The tourist offer of the Regio has many common characteristics, as well as perfectly complementary elements, such as the rich cultural heritage and the important museums (technical museums of Mulhouse and the Basel Art Museum), customs and traditions (Christmas markets and carnivals), perfectly preserved historic centers (Colmar), landscapes (canton of Basel-Country), climate, gastronomy and wines, etc.
