File no.	124/000-0180
Project recipient	Danish Environmental Protection Agency
Project manager	Rambøll as
Project description	Tourism is one of the largest and fastest growing industries in the world. Eco tourism or tourism in the nature is a rapid growing form of tourism, and the UN has declared 2002 International year of Eco Tourism. Advancement of eco tourism has been a component in many projects in the Danish Environmental Support Programme, where the primary purpose has been to combine nature preservation with the creation of earning possibilities for the locals. Some uncertainty still exists, though, on which methods are most optimal for the development of eco tourism in protected areas, and it is necessary to evaluate the obtained experiences and develop a basis for more strategic methods. In particular, these will focus on economic value of tourism activities in relation to the goals on nature preservation.
Environmental effect (expected)	Sustainability of nature-based income generating activities, both economic and nature-wise, depend to a large extend on the economical value of the natural attractions. To design sustainable eco tourism activities it is necessary to know the economic mechanisms and touching points between the considerations of nature preservation and economic development. Collection of the considerable experience from the supported projects with a component of eco tourism will result in a better foundation for future projects and at the same time be useful for others.

Project description	On May 4. 1999, the Danish Parliament voted to strengthen the effort to inform the public in Denmark and in the recipient countries on the environmental assistance. The decision was followed by 'Visualization of the Environmental Assistance', a process set in motion by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency. In 2001 a number of information activities were implemented. Information concepts on the arrangement have been prepared for the Danish Environmental Support Programme for Eastern Europe, among other things resulting in a new complete design concept described in the Design Guidelines for the programme. The concept has been used in the production of country books on the environmental assistance to Lithuania and Poland describing the results of Denmark's environmental assistance to the two countries. In 2001 the planning of country pamphlets has begun for eleven recipient countries, describing, in Danish, English and the country's own language, the work of the Danish Environmental Support Programme in the relevant country. The pamphlets will be published in the summer of 2002. In 2001 assistance was also given to prepare theme reports and a documentary for Danish Television. In addition, a conference in the spring of 2001 was conducted to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the Danish Environmental Support Programme for Eastern Europe.
Environmental effect (expected)	No immediate, but the projects will strengthen the knowledge on environmental assistance among the interested parties. Furthermore, some of the projects aim to increase knowledge on the production of environmental communication in Central and Eastern Europe.
