Sustainable Tourism in Estuary Parks

Closed

Partners in STEP aim to tackle the environmental concerns faced by estuaries, such as industry, climate change, rising sea levels and decreased agricultural usage, by developing sustainable tourism in those areas. The partnership brings together a great deal of knowledge and experience in the field of the development and management of nature, tourism and education in water-rich nature reserves. Because environmental issues affect countless European estuaries, partners have chosen crossborder cooperation to find adequate solutions and to implement the European Charter for sustainable tourism. Over the course of the project, the sustainable concept will become tangible as the project produces a handbook for sustainable facilities, an action-plan for branding sustainable tourism, an action-plan for visitors management in estuarine nature, new visitors management tools and publishes study reports.
