WadNext focuses on the next step in sustainable tourism. Participants share practical experiences, discuss current issues, and work on concrete solutions for vulnerable areas. Ameland plays an active role. The island has extensive tourism experience and consciously chooses quality, long-term planning, and cooperation among residents, entrepreneurs, and policymakers.

The Wadden area is a UNESCO World Heritage site and symbolizes the balance between livability, nature, and economy. WadNext connects professionals who want to strengthen this balance, both within and beyond the Wadden region.

Who WadNext is intended for:

  • policymakers and administrators
  • entrepreneurs in tourism and recreation
  • researchers and knowledge institutions
  • organizations working on sustainable area development

What to expect:

  • contributions from experts and researchers
  • practical examples from the field
  • discussions about sustainable travel and governance
  • excursions and sessions in the Wadden landscape

WadNext is not a traditional conference but a place for meeting, deepening, and collaboration, right in the heart of the Wadden area. Other regions are also invited to share experiences and learn from the Wadden context. More information and registration can be found at www.wadnext.com
