Resilientand sustainable tourism in Veere

Recreation and tourism are closely tied to the municipality of Veere, its residents and its entrepreneurs. With around 73,000 sleeping places, the coast, village centres, peace, space, sea, beach and nature form an attractive recreation area. Sustainable tourism keeps that appeal intact for the future as well.

The challenge

The municipality of Veere asked New Economy to use an opportunity map to show how identified value loss within the sector can be turned into more resilience, sustainability and liveability.

  • Around 73,000 sleeping places make tourism spatially and economically defining.
  • The coast and village centres draw a large group of regular visitors.
  • The appeal is linked to peace, space, nature and local identity.
  • Goals were worked out together with local entrepreneurs, the municipality and residents.
  • The opportunity map contains 36 concrete opportunities.
  • The opportunities focus on biodiversity, water management, renewable energy, employment and liveability.

From value loss to resilience

Sustainable tourism in Veere is not only about less impact, but also about strengthening the qualities that make the area attractive.

By connecting tourism development to nature, water, energy, employment and living quality, a broader agenda emerges. The economic value of visitors is then linked to liveability for residents and the carrying capacity of the landscape.
