Project Background

The 5 Star Nature ACCESSIBLE (2025–2027) project builds on previous international cooperation initiatives 5 Star Nature and 5 Star Nature+, which promoted sustainable nature tourism and resulted in the development strategy for the Northwest Estonia Geopark until 2031.

The 5 Star Nature ACCESSIBLE project focuses on improving accessibility in rural tourism by developing inclusive services, user-friendly solutions, and accessible information for people with diverse needs. It also supports tourism providers through training, tools, and innovative approaches to make tourism more accessible and enjoyable for everyone. The project partners are Local Action Groups (LAGs) or UNESCO Geoparks from Italy, Spain, Austria, Finland, and Estonia. Each partner country will organise one accessibility-focused webinar during the project period.

In the Western-Harju Partnership area, activities focus on:

• developing accessible tourism

• promoting sustainable accessibility
