The Flow Country Partnership has initiated a sustainable tourism strategy to position the Flow Country World Heritage Site as a key visitor destination. This strategy aims to balance tourism with conservation, supporting local businesses and communities while addressing climate change.
The site encompasses 200,000 hectares of peat bog, with ongoing restoration projects that have rehabilitated nearly 1,400 hectares since the UNESCO designation in 2024. The initiative includes developing walking and cycling routes to promote a 'slow tourism' approach. The potential for carbon credits from peatland restoration may provide additional income for local crofters and communities.
