Within TGN, partners from France and the UK aim to develop and promote their green tourism centres to improve community and visitor involvement and contribute to the development of green tourism in the 2 Seas area.While operating in the same field – Environmental Education and Green Tourism – each centre has developed distinct approaches to site and facility management, audience development, marketing, and education. They will therefore learn a lot from each other about the protection and enhancement of natural heritage and benefit from shared promotional, educational and green tourism tools.To enhance the attractiveness of their green tourism centres, partners will pool their knowledge on effective site management and conservation, train tourism personnel to promote general and local green tourism issues and develop new and sustainable partnerships. Bilingual tools will also be developed in aid of discovery, education and learning for schools and the general public, and to promote the aims of the project, its partners and their local produce.
