Estonian Soomaa National Park recieved two sustainable tourism labels within last week

Friday, 17 Oct, 2009 0

Soomaa has been recognised by the European Commission as a European Destination of Excellence (EDEN), being among natural areas that are off-the-beaten track and represent some of the most stunning and pristine environments on the continent.

Soomaa (the Land of Bogs) National Park in Estonia has also joined the PAN Parks network of European wilderness areas as it proved excellence in combining wilderness protection and sustainable tourism development. To get the PAN Parks certification the Estonian park was subject to independent international verification of its environmental and sustainable tourism aspects.

These two labels recognize the work of all stakeholders in Soomaa national park towards sustainable tourism development.
