Projekta uzdevums ir veidot Baltijas jūras reģionu kā atraktīvu vietu dabas tūrismam. Projekta rīcības vērstas uz to, lai palielinātu apmeklētāju skaitu jau zināmos putnu vērošanas un dabas tūrisma galamērķos, kā arī attīstītu jaunas vietas, palielinot dabas tūrisma sezonas ilgumu un piekrastes reģiona ekonomiskās spējas.

» GOAL
The goal of Baltic Wings is to make the Baltic region attractive for nature tourism with bird watching in focus. The area has great natural resources with – in the European context – relatively untouched wildlife areas, but is still rather unknown to nature tourists.The project aims to increase visits to already known sites for birdwatching and other nature activites as well as develop new sites in order to extend the now short tourism season and to increase the economic oppourtunities of the coastal area.
» PROJECT MAIN TASKS (ACTIVITIES)
Baltic Wings is focusing on developing high-standard birding attractions in order to attract more nature lovers and extend the tourism season, which is much needed in order to develop the countryside. Birding platforms, trails, hides and nature information signs and exhibitions will be constructed, tours will be organised, information folders, maps and a website will make the area accessible to keen birders and nature lovers.
By involving local partners who can develop tourism services, new work opportunities in rural areas will be created. Local guides are important for high-quality tours and guide education is an important part of the project.
The project partners include non-governmental organizations with members volunteering in the project as well as a national authority, a municipality and a small private enterprise.
Nature Conservation Agency of Latvia will be responsible for the permanent maintenance of the nature exposition in the Slitere Lighthouse by providing the personnel and necessary infrastructure. Other info-points will be maintained by the partner establishing them, also with help from local authorities.
