Tourist maritime paths of South Baltic

Closed

Transformation of a system of industries and changes accompanying with globalization changed importance of sailing as a tool of transport of goods and people.However, in many places infrastructure adapted to a sailing movement still has left a space and opportunities.At the same time, the memory of the old ways of transportation of goods by sea disappears. In many coastal regions and cites sailing heritage formed the stories of cities and regions, where were flywheel of traditions and customs,as well as a source of pride and identity of their inhabitants. The main challenge for the project will be creation of new tourism products in the form of regional and international sailing waterways.It means an analysis of the infrastructure’s potential that will enable the placement of attractive paths for sailing which will have a common theme specific to regions involved in the project. Project will be not about building new infrastructure but inventing new water routes for sailing based on already existing infrastructure by choosing unique, maybe forgotten places and putting them together as a new path and new tourist product.To create these products it will be necessary to carry out a prior analysis of existing resources and potentials in the region.Cities and regions will be built on the knowledge of the participating partners known for their competence in the field of heritage conservation and promotion of a sailing regional development.The other partners will jointly create,test and promote innovative methods of using the cultural heritage of sailing. The project Baltic Pass fits into the Programme objective 2.1 Increased development of the south Baltic area’s natural and cultural heritage assets into sustainable tourist destinations by gathering existing small,not well-known tourist sites in the SB Region and developing them into waterways tourist products.Sea is the common identity of the Region and vessels are the most eco-friendly and sustainable way of exploring it.
