Pages 113 - 123
The German state (Bundesland) of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
with it`s outstanding beauty and unique natural and cultural potentials
belongs to one of the three leading tourist destinations in Germany. Ongoing
tourist development will cause strong tension between the protection and
the use of these potentials. Zones for tourist developments and zones
of protected areas (e.g. National parks, nature parks) overlap in the
current spatial development plans. Not to risk the unique potentials get
destroyed irretrievable the State has to react not only to the demands
of tourism but to supply sustainable and future orientated alternatives
for the region. The project High Quality Tourism - sustainable development
in sensitive areas in four regions around the Baltic Sea contributes
a basic part to this direction of development. As part of the EU-Initiative
INTERREG II C, with was agreed on in 1994/1996 as a part of the supranational
development perspectives Visions and strategies around the Baltic
Sea 2010, the project with it`s five partners from Sweden,Germany,
Poland and Latvia aims to develop suitable tourism in sensitive areas
with the interaction to densly populated areas. The research approach
on High Quality Tourism within these spatial constellation will be introduced.
