Since 2008 the Baltic Sea Tourism Forum has become the communication and exchange platform for transnational initiatives in the Baltic Sea region. Organised for the first time by the Ministry for Economy, Employment and Tourism at that time and the Tourist Board of the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, aims to promote dialogue, consensus building and a shared vision on the key challenges of tourism development around the Baltic Sea. This year, the new EUSBSR PA Tourism coordinators from Pomorskie Tourist Board and Oulu region, bring the Forum back!

Since 2012, the BSTF has been closely linked to the implementation process of Policy Area Tourism in the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region. It contributes strongly to the aims of the macro regional strategy, the revised action plan and defined actions adopted by the European Commission in 2020.

The Baltic Sea Tourism Forum attracts key tourism stakeholders from around the Baltic Sea and contributes significantly to transnational exchange and cooperation in the region. 

Let's meet during the 14th edition on 1st December 2022 to discuss the current issues in the Baltic Sea tourism and initiate the topics for the next years BSTF, which we plan to organise again as an in-person event!
