Focus Challenge: Nature based tourism and rural entrepreneurship
Community and workshop location: Lahemaa National Park and Estonian University of Life Scienes, Estonia
Participants: students and staff members from the ERASMUS partnership, villagers from Lahemaa Community
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.
