Programme 2000 - 2006 North Sea Region

Date of latest update: 2021-04-06

Description

Description (EN):

The general aim of the MoPark (Mobility and National Parks) project was to guarantee sustainability of National Parks by applying environmentally friendly technologies in an economically viable way. The concrete aim was to raise the income for national parks by increasing quality tourist offers based on natural assets without compromising natural qualities, by application of modern technologies in the area of transport and information and telecommunication. The central question and aim have been divided in three areas: • Information and communication technology; • Transport systems; • Sustainable vehicles.

Achievements (EN):

MoPark has achieved strong economic, environmental and social results. Economically, MoPark has fostered rural development and off-seasonal activity. All of the involved national parks indicated that the project activities contributed positively to employment opportunities for the local communities and extended tourist seasons. Moreover, it is assumed that an increased amount of visitors will generate more income for local businesses. The main positive environmental impacts of the activities of MoPark are linked to substituting fossil fuel with solar or electric power as carried out in the project. The project activities have increased the awareness towards local nature and culture among tourists and communities and encouraged entrepreneurial development. These activities will contribute to social-cultural development in the region, generate new activities, facilitate participation of disabled and increase the level of local involvement in the national parks.
