Ecotourism - visitor experiences building on natural and cultural heritage assets, conserving the environment, and sustaining the well-being of local people – can be a key factor in providing employment and income in rural and sparsely populated areas, while maintaining these assets and the fundamental qualities of traditional life. Each country involved in SHAPE has its own strategy for tourism, including ecotourism. Yet what is missing are tools to transform these strategies into concrete, practical knowledge about how to manage, develop, organize, support, and market assets and activities – and how to integrate these activities into communities in sustainable ways. Strong local involvement is the strength, but also a weakness, of ecotourism, as the actors are small and lack both the resources and knowledge needed to be successful in the international tourism industry. SHAPE will focus on a transnational set of sustainable heritage areas (SHAs) with diverse experiences of sustainability and regional cooperation involving stakeholders in heritage management, tourism, and governance. In these SHAs, the partners will work with local stakeholders, their organizations, and the institutions which support them, and incorporate their activities into regional strategies for sustainable development. Project activities will start in each involved SHA, addressing local challenges for sustainable development by mapping assets, building on existing activities, and helping those who are developing ecotourism initiatives. Project partners and stakeholders will then share the outcomes transnationally through meetings, learning journeys and thematic networks. The resulting knowledge and tools will be incorporated into a dynamic e-service, designed to evolve and be used across the NPA region and beyond after the project ends. (English)
