Description: Das Projekt "Agora - Netzwerk für Nachhaltige Tourismusentwicklung im Ostseeraum" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Greifswald, Geowissenschaften, Institut für Geographie und Geologie durchgeführt. The BSR is characterized by large areas of unspoilt countryside. Because of strong economic problems just in these rural areas tourism seems to be a promising opportunity to support regional development. Sustainability considered as a guiding principle can ensure that such a development will lead to economical benefits without threaten the nature and the social structure. Consequently a lot of sustainable tourism projects are already terminated and several are ongoing - but unfortunately there is only little coordination between these highly supported projects. Long-lasting effects are low and mostly limited to the area, where the project took place. Usually the methodologies and experiences are hard to find or not accessible at all after the project terminated. Thus the lead partners of the tourism sector of BALTIC21 with its existing network prepared the project AGORA. This project first intends - as the acronym AGORA with its sense in the Ancient World as a market place with a strong communication function already indicates - to establish an information & service hub. Because this hub likes to serve the entire BSR a pan-baltic approach is designed, including Belarus and Russia. AGORA tries not to invent everything new but it starts on existing results, knowledge and experience of other projects. AGORA compiles tools and information concerning sustainable tourism and makes them accessible for interested users. The source for this information are the AGORA partners representing all three dimensions of sustainability, all levels of administration and tourism management and different thematic interests, projects, actors and stakeholders of Furthermore AGORA evaluates and improves in a second work package tools in spatial planning and tourism management for strengthening the effectiveness of sustainable tourism (Toolbox). To test the tools in practice and give feedback to the Toolbox a third work package comprises several pilot projects. These pilot projects also serve to demonstrate best practise, to present the wide range of possible activities and to show that sustainable tourism can come up with economically profitable results, without endangering ecological values. Sustainability shall be the guiding principle for all projects. To ensure this a check tool for sustainability of tourism projects will be developed, discussed by an Advisory Board and tested in the pilot project (Sustainability Check).All experience, information and expertise of the partners will be integrated in the Strategy Factory. The Strategy Factory will conclude policy recommendations for sustainable tourism development in the BSR and present a Strategyconcept including a durable long-lasting working structure for the AGORA network after the project terminates.
