Increasing Visibility and Accessibility to
the joint Baltic Maritime Heritage
- going from the local to the All Baltic Sea
perspective on sites
Viabal EU Flagship project in Tourism
EU Flagship Viabal A dialogue involving all Baltic Sea countries since 2013
Why a Viabal project?
- the gaps and challenges
Jobs and Business in the coastal areas
1. The rich BMH is fragmented in its presentation and accessibility
2. Local history is largely not taking advantage of the joint Baltic Sea narrative
3. Local operators lack capability to develop methods and networks
4. Local operators face the constant problem of seasonality in demand
Environment
5. Erosion of artefacts, strong growth for active cultural and maritime tourism
requires new ways to access
