BioCultural Heritage Tourism Project
Biocultural Heritage is a process of collaboration between inhabitants, businesses and environmental managers to create experimental activities that celebrate the connections between humans and nature distinctive to the local area and cultural heritage.
Four English and French UNESCO Biosphere Regions have come together, with substantial funding from the Interreg Channel region programme, to increase the economic value of tourism based on their natural and cultural resources, whilst reducing its environmental impact.
The main outputs of the project (2018-21) will be:
1) Conserving the natural sites by managing the tourism flow and improving the experience of visitors
2) Raising awareness and involvement in the programme with local businesses
3) Creating a diversified visitor offer for bio-cultural tourism destinations
