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.
