The most important economic factor for residents of the National Park area is tourism. It contributes to 37 percent of people‘s income on the Schleswig-Holstein North Sea coast. The National Park and the west coast receive 2 million overnight stays and 14 million day visitors per year. Nature conservation organisations, National Park tidal flat guides and National Park rangers offer over 10,000 trips and tidal flat tours, boat tours with wildlife watching and similar activities. The Wadden Sea is an example of "Linking Tourism & Conservation"
