Abstract
Inland waterways have been used for cargo transportation and tourism in many Countries. Inland waterways could serve for both passive and active water based tourism and cargo transportation. Many Countries around the Baltic Sea are plains and abound in rivers and channels with natural environment which makes them very attractive for visitors and freight navigation as well. Meantime the Baltic Sea Region (BSR) states railway network has been developed very well and railways account for the largest portion of the freight movement, except for the oversize cargo segment which is very complicated to transport by railways and roads. Natural environment, interesting historical and sightseeing spots, fairly low density of population and availability of quality services close to the inland waterways play a very important role in water tourism development. This Article analyzes oversize cargo transportation by IWW and water tourism objects close to the IWW in BSR, possibilities for development of new freight- and tourism related products on the inland waterways, advantages and disadvantages of the IWW freight and tourism in BSR.
