| Summary: | The study examines the impact of offshore wind farm (OWF) development on tourism and leisure activities in France, focusing on the perceptions of tourism stakeholders and impacts on local tourism practices. It aims to understand how coastal destinations can adapt to the developement of OWFs, considering the emergence of new services and form of industrial tourism.The methodology employs surveys and spatial analysis to assess the impacts on tourism and perceptions for three French OWF project. This study also explores new tourism opportunities related to OWFs, analyses their connections with other forms of tourism, and compares the potential impacts across the three projects. The findings establish a baseline for long-term monitoring of OWF impacts on tourism and recreational activities.The study concludes that OWFs can drive the tourism economy, depending on existing forms of tourism and the industry’s ability to capitalize on this new diversification opportunity. It defines offshore wind energy tourism and places it in the broader context of other forms of tourism, based on initial observations from the three case studies. |
