Introduction 11 countries in Baltic Sea Region
80 cities with > 100 000 inhabitants selected for monitoring accessibility trends
Accessibility Potential by Air
* Locational advantage of a city or region
* No new signicifant airport hub
Accessibility Potential by Air
The biggest airports from sample cities where we can see trend that all of them have developed during nine year period by increasing numbers of served passengers.
Accessibility Potential by Road
The countries in the Baltic Sea Region have high-capacity road infrastructure, such as motorways, permitting connections among the main metropolitan areas.
Reliable public transport makes the cities work. A reliable and extensive public transport network not only makes things work, but increases the quality of life in the cities.
In all cities, public transport is well developed and well organised. Buses, trams, subways and commuter trains serve passengers in the Baltic Metropoles.
Accessibility Potential by Rail This indicator is defined as the number of people that can be reached by train, where the activeness of destinations is defined by their population size. Rail Baltica connects Baltic countries with central and western Europe.
Fast and modern trains serve both passengers and cargo and there is an ongoing heavy investment in rail systems, which is steadily improving cross-border infrastructure and facilities
Rail system is improving thus recently launched high-speed Allegro train shortens the travel time between St Petersburg and Helsinki from 5.5 hours to only 3 hours.
Multi-modal Accessibility Potential
Multimodal accessibility potential is defined as the number of people that can be reached by all modes (road, rail, flight).
Where the attractivity of destinations is defined by their population size, subject to the travel time to reach them. The individual car, train and plane travel times are summed up as logsum, to derive the overall multimodal accessibility potential.
Maritime routes and ship traffic in theBaltic Sea
The Baltic Sea is one of the maritime areas with the densest traffic in the world.
Both the number and the size of ships have been growing.
There are many short-haul, cross-border ferry connections that allow the mobility of persons and the integration of regional workforce markets.
Ferry connections are also used by trucks to transport goods across borders.
Maritime transportation is well developed for longer journeys, essential for connecting nearby cities and regions.

Conclusions
The Baltic Sea Region is a economic hub which is well internationally connected with the whole European continent, connected to various airports and many airlines serving destinations in Europe as well as key destinations in North America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East
The region as a whole has a modern and technologically advanced air, sea, road and rail transport system
Based on our analysis, we can conclude that it is a world class economic zone, that will bring profit to any entrepreneur as the area comprises all the key of success elements of a specific investment
Conclusions Out of 80 sample cities, there are 56 city with airport in it, but 24 of sample
cities have no airport. In existing airports there are rapid development from year 2005 until year 2014
Internet access in regions gives high level of importance in the future for increasing people knowledge, time saving and international market opportunities
Opened borders speed up work for the logistics environment by saving time and giving opportunity to earn more money for each region faster. It’s a positive movement for financial process
Biggest changes in accessibility have occurred in Scandinavian part of BSR during 2001 till 2014
