The project will promote the development of sustainable hunting tourism that will diversify the economical activity of peripheral regions in Northern Europe based on the strengths of these areas, by developing the companies and operational environment related to the sector. The project will focus on practical development and networking activities based on exchange of transnational information and expertise on hunting tourism with the aims of reducing the obstacles for the entrepreneurship, enhancing the activities of SMEs and provoking discussion and raising awareness of the potential and challenges of hunting tourism based on the northern hunting cultures.
