experience be shared with others?
The tourism strategy for the Wadden Sea is recognized as a model for other World Heritage Sites due to the way that the tourism sector plays an active role to implement the World Heritage Convention. In this context all three Wadden Sea states work together with the UNESCO World Heritage Centre in Paris, supporting the programme for sustainable tourism in marine World Heritage sites (cooperation between all 46 such sites). This includes the 2014 established partnership with the Banc d’ Arguin national park in Mauritania in order to improve the protection of migratory birds along the East-Atlantic flyway. Close cooperation exists also with South Korea in order to exchange experience with protection and management of mudflats. This includes environmental education, information centres and sustainable tourism. Participation in the LT&C programme is a further opportunity to share experiences with other areas and at the same time profit from their experiences.
