To plan a trip spontaneously, it is crucial to be able to find reliable information. The availability of highly valued harmonized standards like Blue Flag and Blue Star Marina in a harbor, usually influences travelers in their choice of (next) destination.

Maritime and coastal destinations are a growing trend among families, youth and middle-aged tourists. Visitors’ expectations towards service quality is very high. Keywords are clean facilities, service variety, availability of modern technologies, safety etc. The quality of facilities differs in harbors substantially.   Uncoordinated small harbors’ actions are not sufficient to improve the service level.  
 
The aim of the project is to help harbors transform into attractive and modern ports by connecting harbors & other relevant actors across CB borders to jointly enhance the level of services. The motto of the entire project is: “Opening the door to a destination”. As a result of the project, a Visitor-friendly harbor is opened not only for (boat)tourists but also for hikers, cyclists, families from the village nearby/beyond. Dockside pedestals should provide 2-or 3-phase electricity along with drinking & non-potable water. Laundry, modern mooring, ship logs, BerthMaster online etc will be a definite part of available services in harbors
