Coastal Angling Tourism - a development chance for the South Baltic Region

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG V-A Poland - Denmark - Germany - Lithuania - Sweden (South Baltic)

Date of latest update: 2021-04-06

Description

Description (EN):

Coastal angling tourism offers a unique development chance for the SB Region, especially for less developed coastal regions and even outside the holiday season. It is a new touristic trend and offers diversification of coastal tourism with promising market opportunities. For example, in Germany the number of coastal anglers is about 163.000 with a direct spending of 920 € per angler and year, whereas the total annual spending (incl. indirect spending) amounts to 1.590 € - a multiplier effect of 1.8 per € directly spent. Based on the increasing sales of coastal tourist fishing licenses in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern within the last years (day tickets - 2014: 33.686, 2012: 25.833; week tickets – 2014: 33.710, 2012: 24.722) it is obvious that angling tourism has a great potential. Significant spill-over effects (accommodation industry, gastronomy, etc.) can be expected and further synergies, e.g. combined offers with the health tourism sector or professional fisherman who make use of tourists and establish an additional financial pillar. But angling tourism is still a niche market based on very local initiatives and angler-to-angler-communication. To change this, it is indispensable to cooperate across borders and jointly promote coastal angling and its economic potentials. In this regard, CATCH will increase the capability of coastal communities to establish sustainable angling tourism, deliver improved measures for touristic providers and will combine all new knowledge in an innovative information and knowledge platform on coastal angling tourism. It will provide information for angling tourists and inhabitants necessary for planning, booking and performing an angling trip to unique coastal sites. In order to ensure the durability, tools for selling the platform will be created and in new tourism packages implemented. This will result in an increased popularity of coastal angling in the SB Region and will strengthen the economic welfare in this less developed regions.

Expected Results (EN):

The project CATCH will emphasize the importance of recreational angling within the resource-efficient blue growth in the South Baltic, increase the capability of coastal communities to establish sustainable angling tourism, deliver improved measures for touristic providers and will combine all new knowledge in an innovative information and knowledge platform on coastal angling tourism. The platform provides information for angling tourists and inhabitants necessary for planning, booking and performing an angling trip to unique coastal sites. By the exchange of experiences between coastal stakeholder groups best-practice approaches will show further positive effects to regional development, e.g. linkages to further economic branches (traditional coastal fishery, health tourism, local entrepreneurs). All in all, this will result in an increased popularity of coastal angling, more tourists and new jobs in the South Baltic Region in the long-term.

Expected Outputs (EN): 1) Catalogue of improved activities for touristic providers to enhance their business. 2) Joint brand ‘Sustainable angling tourism’ 3) Information and knowledge platform on coastal angling tourism 4) Cross-border promotional campaign for coastal angling tourism.
