8.3 Problem 2: Small Harbor Accessibility

8.2.6 Tourism
Although the area of concern is dominated by agricultural use the tourism manager wants
to improve the offers and opportunities for recreation. Some places have already been
identified to be developed for recreational purposes. It is yet not finally decided, but
specific groups are concerned by the new developments. The main attraction point is the
advertisement of the designated World Heritage area. The entire coastal zone (including
the islands in front of the main land) has been roughly divided into different hotspots for recreational purposes, such as nature-oriented recreation, bed-and-breakfast or emphasizing
on the traditional landscape and living.
The organizations which have to be considered are scattered because each municipality
maintains a tourist office, the district council is responsible for spatial planning and, thus,
for recreation and tourism. Some districts established a tourism association but without any
sovereignty, only for the advertisement of the coastal stretch. Furthermore, after the designation as World Heritage area also the national park administration and an international
office for the coordination of cross-border ambitions in nature conservation are developing
touristic strategies.
8.2.7 Tasks
1. Write down what you want to achieve
2. Develop a plan on how to start tackling the existing situation
3. Draw a sketch of the process you want to apply
4. Make an overview of what has to be considered linked to both regulations and interests
and needs of sectors affected
8.3 Problem 2: Small Harbor Accessibility
8.3.1 Delineation of the Problem
As experienced employee of the well-known and acknowledged CoastInA you have been
approached by a small municipality to help solving a problem they are facing. In a meeting
the mayor explained the situation as follows:
The municipality is lying directly at the coast. The main type of land use is farming,
mainly dairy farming. But also the growth of energy plants is increasing. Some small
villages are located in the municipality, but no city or capital. The area has some touristic
features but not so many. One of the main attraction points is a small harbor for fishing and
some leisure boats. The fishermen use cutters to catch different sorts of fish in the adjacent
water bodies of the North Sea. It is estimated that two-thirds of the total number of tourists
are visiting this small harbor at least once during their stay.
