- reducing the negative impacts of tourism on natural areas by drafting a regional sustainable tourism development strategy for a selected part of the Carpathians;
- improving access to information on the Carpathians, their natural and cultural heritage, tourist infrastructure and actions undertaken for the implementation of the convention by launching the web portal “Carpathian Informatorium” to present data on the Polish Carpathians using geoinformation techniques, and by conducting a series of trainings and lectures;
- creating a network for information exchange among institutions and bodies working for the implementation of the Carpathian Convention;
- ensuring public participation in the implementation of the Carpathian Convention by creating a wide platform for public consultation and support for thematic working groups.
