Contemporary harbours with soft energy technology

As a result of the project there are 32 harbors in the Archipelago with increased number of services and improved service level whereas approx 20 participating harbors have a proven record of internationally certified quality standard or they have applied for it (which proves the necessary standard needed and reached by the harbor). Infrastructure in all harbors will be developed to meet modern standards, accessible, safe and welcoming every visitor.

Other expected results of the project can be characterized as follows:
a) The number of tourist visits after the project implementation is in average increased by 80 % as a minimum
b) Low or renewable energy solutions (solar panels, combined electricity and water systems) are taken in use in 25 harbors
c) The number of BlueStarMarina certified harbors: 2
d) The number of BlueFlag certified harbors: 18
e) One representative per harbor will be participating in practical study-visit to central Europe where the visits to different Blue Star Marina or Blue Flag certified harbors will be combined with 1-2 thematic and very practical training (subjects will be selected before each visit)
f) Joint marketing – Existing network of BSM and BF is opened for certified harbors but in reality the entire region (including all 32 harbors) will attract an interest and benefit from it. Several tools, taken in use in every region, will jointly form a network of local/regional/international tourism promotors along with other organisations active in boattourism.
