Within the scope of its core activities (knowledge circulation, knowledge creation and networking), the Research Centre for Coastal Tourism is involved in various projects. We cooperate with partners in the region, in other regions in the Netherlands and abroad. After all, the South-west of the Netherlands is not the only region which has focused attention on innovation in tourism. Many knowledge institutions, government organizations and entrepreneurs in other places in the Netherlands, Europe and across the world are operating in the same arena.
Below, you will find an overview of the projects in which the Research Centre for Coastal Tourism participates.
2009 - 2012 |
SusTRIPVarious parties in the two-seas area (South-east of England, North-west of France, West-Flanders and South-west of the Netherlands) have joined forces in the 'SusTRIP' project: Sustainable Tourism Research & Intelligence Partnership. The aim is to execute a joint series of research projects to support the tourism sector in the project areas. The research projects are based on the four pillars of sustainable tourism: visitors, entrepreneurs, local residents and living environment.

Bemanning paraat voor Water RijkThe Delta has huge potential for yachting, but this potential is not yet fully used. The region does not enjoy the ‘fame’ that the province of Friesland does, for instance. Water sports businesses, tourism entrepreneurs, government, politics and local residents all need to realign their thinking to make the most of the Delta’s potential. The ‘Bemanning paraat voor Water Rijk’ project of the Research Centre for Coastal tourism and Hiswa Association is aimed at achieving this turnaround in thinking. The project is supported by ‘Pieken in de Delta Zuidwest-Nederland’ and was launched on 1 October 2009. For more information go to the project page (in Dutch). |
