Nature Tourism Conference: Policies – Products - Practices

The conference will provide a forum bringing together nature conservation and tourism development sectors.  We regard it highly practical to unite different initiatives from the European to the local level in one event which allows to exchange know-how, to mutually benefit from the practical results and possibly to extent your networks for future joint activities.

What are the conference topics?
 The relation between nature conservation and tourism is addressed from a variety of angles like policies, products, and visitors. Keynote speeches, case presentations and discussions will range from tourism product development and branding to stakeholder involvement, cooperation and partnership between tourism and nature conservation sectors, to legislation and its implementation.

Who is participating?
We expect nature tourism product providers, managers of protected nature sites, environmental experts, rural developers, nature tour operators, municipalities, ministries, rural tourism associations, European partnership initiatives. The diversity of the audience will create an excellent opportunity for the exchange of opinions and best practices. As practitioners in the nature tourism field, we truly believe that the event will allow a dynamic exchange among professionals.


Conference working language is English with simultaneous translation to Latvian on March 22. Participants are welcome to bring along posters, leaflets, documented project results and other resources they would like to share.
