Baltic Sea Tourism Forum 2024 – Biking through Culinary & Culture!

Project: Light in the Dark
Physical Meeting
The 16th Baltic Sea Tourism Forum will take place in Oulu, Finland on 4-5 June 2024.

Description

The themes of this year’s forum include cultural and culinary tourism, cycling, and coastal tourism. Attendees can expect inspiring keynotes, interesting case examples from the Baltic Sea Region, great networking opportunities, and the chance to explore the beautiful city of Oulu, which is the European Capital of Culture 2026!

Baltic Sea Tourism Forum (BSTF) is the annual forum for EUSBSR Policy Area Tourism since 2008. This forum aims to promote dialogue, consensus building and a shared vision of the key challenges of tourism development around the Baltic Sea. BSTF is closely linked to the implementation process of Policy Area Tourism. It contributes strongly to the aims of the macro-regional strategy, the revised action plan and the defined actions adopted by the European Commission like EU Pathway to Tourism. BSTF attracts key tourism stakeholders from BSR, like DMO representatives, regional authorities, local municipalities and pan-Baltic organisations.

Light in the Dark will be present with a stand and present a session on prolonging the tourism season.
