Lahemaa Challenges
A number of challenges had previously been identified, and the decision was to develop the Lahemaa CIL to address the following fields:
- Lack of occupational opportunities
- High seasonality
- Competition from companies that are based in Tallinn
- Restrictions on land use
- Lack of collaboration, cooperation and partnerships between state, locals and municipalities
- Lack of rural and recreational tourism coordination between different stakeholders
- High dependency on EU projects
- Local entrepreneurs lack a number of skills: online marketing, social media content creation, guiding, law, making their services suitable for different target groups etc.
