Objectives
Internationally
- To create a strategy for the development of nature tourism in the archipelagic region
- To extend the co-operation network during the project to other biosphere reserves and National parks in the Baltic Sea region.
- To hold common seminars for nature tourism developers and entrepreneurs from the archipelago and from Western Estonia
- To exchange experiences regarding the development of nature tourism infrastructure and information material
- To exchange experiences on entrepreneur cooperation in the pilot areas and on directing tourists in accordance with principles of sustainable development
Developing nature tourism in the Archipelago National Park
- The present state of tourism in the Archipelago National Park and in its cooperation areas will be examined (number of visitors, most popular destinations, problems)
- The tourism entrepreneurs' wishes and opinions regarding the development of nature tourism in the aforementioned areas will be noted
- Networking of entrepreneurs and training of guides specialising in nature tourism will be encouraged
A higher profile of nature tourism hopefully leads to a higher environmental awareness in visitors. Small scale and planned tourism is preferable in the sensitive environment of our archipelago.
