Opening up the area by this new cycle route should increase the public support for preservation, restoration and development of the nature and landscape values. By increasing the tourist experience and providing information about nature and culture, the route should help to increase the brand awareness of the Groningen Wadden coastal area. Besides, the project should contribute to the generation of new initiatives, such as local products, accommodation and cultural events. The project Kiek over Diek should lead to more visitors to the area, stimulating economic development. This could strengthen the liveability in the region, counteracting the consequences of krimp the region is facing. The total costs of the route were calculated at around five million euros. This thesis will help to get a deeper insight into the effects of the new cycle route in the Wadden coastal area. date: 2019 date_type: published thesis_type: bachelor degree_programme: SGP tutors_name: Boumans, B. keywords_local: Brand awareness keywords_local: Tourist experience keywords_local: Krimpregio keywords_local: Bicycle tourism keywords_local: Tourism language_iso: en titleorder: Van Lauwerszee tot Dollart Tou: a study into the effects of a new cycle route on the Wadden coastal area of Groningen dbi: 5d4a738acf139 imported_item: yes date_of_import: 2020-04-22 imported_from: http://scripties.frw.eldoc.ub.rug.nl/root/ba/SGP/2019/ruijterlinde/ import_source_file: theses-frw-20200422132455-5d4a738acf139.xml date_issued: 2019-01-01 citation: Uijterlinde, Romee (2019) Van Lauwerszee tot Dollart Tou: a study into the effects of a new cycle route on the Wadden coastal area of Groningen.
