The meeting was focused on SWOT analysis, which is one of the main results of project.

During the first day of meeting partners visited best practice example of Swedish partner – Asarna Skicenter. It is the centre offering the large range of services: a restaurant with daily meals and a la carte, an outlet and sport shop, a camping site with cottages, training camps for schools and professionals as well as ski museum.
Also partners were driven to Remsgarden (Rems Yard). It is folk museum made in old wooden farm from 18th century. Almost each village in the region has its own “Hembygds-gard” (folk museum), but they are not very well promoted for tourists, although they are perfectly preserved by government.
Hanging Tapestry Museum in Overhogdal – great exhibition showing the history of tapestry almost the whole year round, meantime other touristic places are open only from midsummer till the middle of August, as it is usual for tourism in remote regions with highly seasonal conditions.

Coordinating organisation Education, Research & Consultancy Centre made presentation what is done so far by network and project budget balance. Estonian partner Loodi Manor Nature Centre presented evaluation results of kick-off meeting in Klaipeda.
