The EUSBSR Annual Forum 2025 in Sopot, Poland, offers a unique platform for those invested in the future of tourism within the Baltic Sea Region. Under the theme "Securing the Future," this year's forum prioritizes tourism as a pivotal driver of regional resilience and cooperation. Participants can expect an enriching experience filled with dynamic discussions and workshops on October 29-30.

Key among the workshop sessions is "Routes That Resonate: Tourism and Culture as Bridges in the Baltic Sea Region," where attendees will discover how cultural routes can transform local heritage into enriching travel experiences. Learn how integrating medieval trade routes, saunas, and shared historical memories can fuel tourism and reinforce regional bonds across borders – all while fostering cooperation, visibility, and strengthening regional identities.

Another crucial session, "Extension of the Coastal Tourism Season as a Tool for a Prosperous Archipelago All Year Round," highlights strategies for expanding tourism beyond its traditional limitations. Explore how transport accessibility improvements, regional uniqueness, and responsible boating can pivot archipelagos from seasonal destinations to vibrant year-round attractions. This session will showcase initiatives like the "Light in the Dark" and "Boatman" projects, illustrating successful case studies within the Baltic Sea Region.

Organized in collaboration with the Pomorskie Voivodeship and supported by the Council of Baltic Sea States Secretariat, the forum offers a valuable chance for stakeholders to engage with tourism as a sustainable economic driver. While participation promises innovative insights and connections, it is the responsibility of each attendee to ensure compliance with travel requirements to Poland.

The EUSBSR Annual Forum is funded by several regional bodies, including the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme, underscoring its importance in promoting cross-border cooperation and sustainable tourism development. For those keen to shape meaningful change in regional tourism strategies, registration for the event is crucial.
