NEST Finland - The Koli ProjectObjectives for the NEST- Koli-project: To develop Koli National Park and the Koli Resort as a model area for sustainable tourism development.  The NEST-projects strengthens the activities and networks of the potential new type rural developing centres, like visitor and education centres or Heritage Centres, in or near-by the national parks and other protected areas. In four NEST-partner countries there are no other equally comprehensive cases until now combining sustainable development in the context of national parks and other protected areas and the development centres of rural networks. The results and the products of NEST-projects produce a pilot model for the partner states for further development. Koli National Park together with the Koli Resort is the main nature tourism development centre in North Karelia Region and in the municipality of Lieksa in Finland. The NEST-Koli-project aims to create better environment and more sustainable cultural heritage, more jobs and economical activities to remote rural areas with very limited development strategies until now.  METLA-Koli NP develops sustainable tourism potential, including sustainable management for attractions and resources, and sustainable nature tourism supply and demand, through all the four themes in the INTERREGIIIb NEST - project entity. |
