Into what extent the ecological quality and aesthetical beauty of rivers affects the tourism potential?
High quality of natural resources (together with their aesthetical beauty) affects the potential of the nature-based tourism in the region. This linkage, however, is difficult to capture by numbers. The goal of the Czech-German cross border project is to evaluate the aesthetical beauty of rivers (with the use of the case study of a lido development in Pirna and Decin) and to support the development effort of municipalities.
