Ideas for new INTERREG-projects
• Support prolongation for the 5 best present INTERREG-projects with INTERREG-funding
• Combined other tourism-products developed for overseas markets (US and Asia)
• Strengthen the infrastructure in the Baltic Area (develop statistics and reasons-to-go between the Baltic countries)
