- Develop pilot ecotourism product as methodology of transfer the best practice from Sweden and document all processes related to development of it. The documented process will be used as methodology for further ecotourism products development not only in Lithuanian but in Estonia too.
- Develop eco-tourism marketing strategy and campaign plan to promote ecotourism in Lithuania.
