Project SUB
| Project Acronym | SUB |
|---|---|
| Project Title | Sustainable Arctic and Peripheral Biking Tourism |
Summary
The tourism industry is a very important sector of the economy for the NPA programme area. Sustainable recovery from the COVID-19 is the key question for the many peripheral regions, municipalities, and communities to survive in the future. Fostering the green and digital transition (twin transition) of the tourism sector with tailored support is more important than ever before. Biking tourism has increased its popularity supporting the industry and all-around year tourism development and can be seen as an emerging industry among the tourism sector.
SUB will include partnering regions’ state of the art and stakeholder analysis. These will provide the basis for the Innovation camps among the SUB participants to explore the feasibility of the industry and to deliver the main content for the full-scale NPA project plan.
Objectives
This preparatory project aims to develop a full application for submission under the 2021-2027 NPA programme.
