Description

Description (EN):

The NPA Bridging call project Sustainable Arctic and Peripheral Biking Tourism (SUB) aims to prepare and submit project applications for the main call of the NPA 2021-2027 programme, specific object 1.3 Enhancing sustainable growth and competitiveness of SMEs and job creation in SMEs, including by productive investments. The tourism industry is a very important sector of the economy for the NPA programme area. Sustainable recovery from the COVID-19 is the key question for the many peripheral regions, municipalities, and communities to survive in the future. Fostering the green and digital transition (twin transition) of the tourism sector with tailored support is more important than ever before. Biking tourism has increased its popularity supporting the industry and all-around year tourism development and can be seen as an emerging industry among the tourism sector. SUB will include partnering regions’ state of the art and stakeholder analysis. These will provide the basis for the Innovation camps among the SUB participants to explore the feasibility of the industry and to deliver the main content for the full-scale NPA project plan. During the process, SUB partners will identify and agree on the Project Consortium for the coming full-scale NPA project. A Consortium for the SUB project has been gathered in 2021, including partners from Finland, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Ireland and Scotland, and an associated partner from Norway. With the help of the feasibility studies, additional analyses and partner meetings, and contacts to related actors and stakeholders in biking tourism, the selection of core themes as well as the final Project Consortium will be made for the full-scale NPA project.
