What is the relationship between an offshore wind park and tourism at Delawares beaches?
An offshore wind park is completely compatible with tourism at Delaware’s beaches. This conclusion is supported by years of experience in Europe, where offshore wind turbines are welcomed by tourists. Indeed, there are many examples of wind parks actually boosting tourism. • In Denmark, wind parks off the shores of two major destinations – the capital city of Copenhagen and the beach resort of Blavandshuk – are popular tourist attractions. Copenhagen organizes boat tours for tourists interested in getting a closer look at the majestic turbines in motion. • Here at home, where onshore wind parks predominate, the same holds true. Tucker County West Virginia is creating an overlook area for motorists in response to demand for viewing access, working with the project owner to create an educational kiosk. Palm Springs, California tourism officials organize bus tours to local wind parks.
