Best practices

The World Heritage status offers new potential in the field of nature tourism in the Wadden Sea Region. With the adoption of the strategy for sustainable tourism in the Danish-Dutch-German World Heritage site, a joint framework has been established to enable stakeholders from various sectors to embrace World Heritage und support the conservation of the Wadden Sea for the benefit of future generations. In the framework of PROWAD practice examples were collected to show how Wadden Sea entrepreneurs such as restaurants, accommodation, transportation, regional products and communication offer sustainable nature experiences (embedded videos):
