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.
