Developing Ecotourism in the East Planning Region
As part of the Nature Conservation Programme in Macedonia, with the active engagement of many interested parties, a study was developed about the potentials for developing tourism in the EPR as well as Strategy for Tourism Development in the EPR with an action plan (2016-2025), which is the fundamental strategic document of the CDEPR for tourism development. Also, four priority activities defined in the Strategy were implemented with support of the Programme.
The Programme will continue to support activities for development of ecotourism by forming a Coordinative body, strengthening the local capacities, encouraging start-ups, as well as nominating Lesnovo as UNESCO geo-park and establishing the eco-ethno park Cesinovo-Oblesevo.
