Technical and investment level
Development and introduction of environmentally sustainable technological solutions for facilitation of specific recreation areas and tourist routes:
2.1. Assessment of existing Russian practices and potential for introduction of Finnish experience in technical facilitation of open-use sites along popular tourist routes
2.2. Preparation of Terms of Reference for demo projects
2.3. Implementation of pilot demo projects:
a) Facilitating two campsites in long-stay recreation areas (several days to several weeks at the beach) – Lake Syamozero and Ladoga skerries shores
b) Facilitating short-stay (a few minutes to a few hours) stopover sites along the “Blue Highway” route
Provisional list of technical solutions for facilitation of pilot areas:
- Dry toilets
- Garbage containers
- Beach dressing booths
- Water supply systems
- Facilitated picnic areas
- Tent areas
- Information boards, etc.
c) Choosing and preparing visibility sites for maximum visitor interest and local population commitment and co-operation (in both Russia and Finland); using chosen visibility structures for creating and maintaining permanent interest
2.4. Preparation of investment business-plans for follow-up of demo projects
