== 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.
