Cross border conference in Sustainable Tourism

On 25-26 February 2020, the Umbrella project held its third cross border conference on Sustainable Tourism at the beautiful Hotel Saxkjøbing in Guldborgsund municipality, Denmark. More than 65 participants from Poland, Lithuania, Denmark, Sweden and Germany took part in the conference to discuss the latest trends of sustainable tourism in the Baltic Sea Region.

The conference offered an excellent overview of the objectives in the EU Baltic Sea Strategy – and how different regions and projects in the South Baltic Sea work within the frame of sustainable tourism.

We also had some fantastic workshops in the areas of;

1) Nature and Coastal Tourism,

2) Cultural heritage Tourism,

3) Food / Gastro Tourism,

and 4) Cycling Tourism, and we hope that these workshops have paved the ground for future projects and international cooperation.

A big thank you to the host of Guldborgsund Municipality for organising this event.
