AGORA project

The main targets of AGORA is to make projects more effective through improving the process of circulation of information and rising the level of coordination between projects. As a result, a YepaT was created which is a database providing information about running und terminated projects on sustainable tourism, co-financed by different EU programmes. Seminars, presentations and workshops and general consultation took place as well. The Agora Toolbox was created, which provides essential tools and methods for developing tourism in the Baltic Sea Area. Another results of AGORA project were the Sustainability Check (that measures the sustainability of projects and helps to avoid the negative impacts) and the Strategy Factory.

AGORA 2.0 is a further contribution to the AGORA project. If granted, it would start on 1 November 2008 and would last until 31 January 2012. The Commission on Tourism will deal with the area of communication and promotion of the project - preparing the international promotion activities, coordinating the printed and electronic promotion materials, creating a special website to promote sustainable tourism in BSR and the outputs of project. Additionally, the Commission will be working on the "Innovation Factory" project.
