Related to this is also the provision of infrastructure, for example the land required for take-off and landing, regulation of the infrastructure use regime and provision of information to visitors. The influx of foreign paragliders is particularly large, so the main goal of the association in Tolmin is to establish a paragliding center.

There is a large influx of foreign paragliders and hang gliders, so the main goal of the association in Tolmin is to establish a hang gliding center.
The beginnings of the association date back to 1977, when the people of Tolmin began to be more active in kite flying and organized themselves into a section at the Posoške aeroclub and participated in competitions under this name. In 1981, the members of the section founded and registered an DPL Posočje. In the following years, they achieved significant success at home and abroad. Kite flying became popular, flights from Raven to Bovec flourished. Among the first in the country, Tolmin kitesurfers used radio stations to communicate in the air.
At the end of the 1980s, the first paragliders appeared in Tolminsko and organized their own association. Common interests, e.g. organizing the starting and landing places, they sponsored the joining of paragliders to the association. Membership then grew rapidly. By accumulating knowledge and flight experience, younger and more enterprising paragliders developed into competitors who decently followed the success of hang gliding. In 2003, the association took first place in Slovenia in terms of total kilometers flown and third place as a team at the open national hang-gliding championship, and the individuals set a new national record and received the trophy for the best hang-glider in Slovenia.
