For the third time, the Wadden Sea World Heritage is organizing a stand on sustainable tourism at the world’s largest tourism fair ITB.

24 World Heritage experts, practitioners and site managers from all parts of the world gathered on 14-16 November 2016 on the Isle of Vilm in Germany.

The “PROWAD LINK” project partners representing nine organizations in the Wadden Sea sat together in Hamburg on 11 November to discuss the next steps towards submitting a full application.

Geomorphology and climate, habitats and communities, species, human activities, and pollution of the Wadden Sea are the main areas of analysis in the Quality Status Report 2017 (QSR).

Partnering with the UNESCO World Heritage Centre in Paris, the Wadden Sea World Heritage will once again be represented at ITB, the world’s largest tourism fair.

We are pleased to announce the publication of the first official Wadden Sea World Heritage travel guide.

For the first time this year, tourism service providers from the Netherlands and the German Länder of Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein are jointly represented at the ITB tourism fair in Berlin.

Whether you like food, games, virtual reality or sand in your shoes – during the ITB on 10-11 March 2018, travel enthusiasts can explore the Wadden Sea World Heritage up close directly on Berlin’s fair grounds. Partnering with the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, the Wadden Sea World Heritage maintains two booths at the world’s largest travel fair.

The Wadden Sea World Heritage stand was awarded second prize in the category "Travel Support and Media" at the Cologne Business School's "Best Exhibitor Awards" (BEA).

In their June meeting, the Interreg North Sea Region Programme’s Steering Committee approved the project “PROWAD LINK”.
