The river Vuoksi area has great, but partly untapped opportunities to become an international destination for sustainable tourism. In the Visit Vuoksi project, the accessibility and visibility of the Vuoksi as a destination for sustainable tourism was developed in different ways: the project created new walking, cycling and water routes and developed a diving site and built boat docks. The project created the river Vuoksi -principles of sustainable tourism and recreational use of the river environment. Also the principles of organizing a sustainable event were created for the use of SME´s and NGO´s. The principles were piloted in the summer and winter events. A short, experiential virtual presentation was made of the river Vuoksi’s story. The project increases visibility of the river Vuoksi as a climate-friendly destination for sustainable tourism. The project improves the quality of the environment and enables a new kind of entrepreneurship by developing the Vuoksi destinations and events.
