Development of UNESCO Natural and Cultural assets

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

Date of latest update: 2021-12-14

Description

Description (EN):

The World Heritage sites and the Biosphere Reserve Areas are cultural and natural heritage sites/areas pointed out by SBP and UNESCO as having outstanding, universal value and as role models for sustainability. The project partners and associated partners represent WH sites and Biosphere Reserve Areas in the South Baltic region. Tourism in the region is to a large extent unsustainable in terms of unbalanced seasonal patterns. As parts of larger destinations the UNESCO sites can function as catalysts for a sustainable development where local businesses and local communities can gain from the diversification opportunity. In the project the partners aim to jointly develop and establish relevant cross-border strategies and accompanying action plans for the sites, and to test and implement a variety of already existing tools as well as trying to develop new tools that are currently lacking. The project will result in established strategies, action plans made, and the testing and implementation of a jointly developed concept on three focus areas: 1) stakeholder dialogue 2) product and service development and 3) governance. During the project time the focus will be on UNESCO sites, but all the results and outputs will be applicable on other sites as well. Part of the project will be connecting to other sites or alike that can cluster with the UNESCO sites under the umbrella concept/brand "World Heritage and Friends". The challenges that the UNESCO sites meet are similar to the challenges of any cultural or natural heritage site: tourism is not local or regional but global

Achievements (EN):

The main aim of the DUNC project was to develop the South Baltic’s UNESCO sites into sustainable tourist destinations by addressing some of the sustainability challenges of a growing tourism sector. We’ve also looked at the outwards portrayal of the South Baltic area as a single heritage destination. So that visitors to each site feel that they are seeing just one part of an interesting puzzle - a Baltic Sea Heritage puzzle. Together, DUNC has focused on (1) the ‘identity’ of the South Baltic heritage as a single tourist destination – and the creation of a common vision, (2) it has raised awareness about the value of our sites (not only economic but also social and environmental value) and developed concepts for ambassadors, entrepreneurs and criteria for quality products & services that respect these values, and (3) the DUNC partnership has worked to protect the integrity of our heritage by creating a long term sustainable tourism framework and individual strategies & action plans for the sites. Within each interlinked focus area, we have worked in line with the “UNESCO World Heritage and Sustainable Tourism Programme and the UN Sustainable Development Goals”. A common Identity & Vision: Within the South Baltic Sea Region there is now an established UNESCO network with a common identity and vision. This network is not only made up of sites managers but also ambassadors & entrepreneurs with its own dedicated website www.balticheritageideas.eu which will live on after the project as a dedicated portal of information and exchange for all stakeholders and interested parties. The outbreak of COVID-19 has been an evolving challenge to the tourism sector. Like others, we launched several initiatives and alternative ways to reach audiences. We used the power of photography to promote the South Baltic Sea heritage and to capture the essence of our common mission, i.e. cross-border, sustainability, ambassadorship, quality products & local pride in heritage. Physical exhibitions of the photos were not appropriate but we overcame this by developing an online 3D walk around exhibition.
