– Improved Management policies on protected areas including touristic exploitation constraints
– Sustainable economic development strategies in case study context and “Touristic Chains Development Action Plans”
Improved cooperation and joint planning for the development of a sustainable and responsible coastal and maritime tourism.
Result indicator: Level of sustainability of tourism in MED coastal regions.
Project Typology M1+M2: Studying and Testing

Abstract

Tourism development through Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) and in the Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) represent an opportunity to enhance the regional development policies in a sustainable way for the whole Mediterranean Basin. The idea is to develop operative tools in order to connect the attractiveness of the coastal zone to the cultural and environmental richness of the internal areas according to a design of integrated touristic chain.
The study of touristic dynamics and of the way in which touristic activities are developed in these areas is a relevant component of regional development in MED areas. From these factors, the project intends to investigate the impacts of tourism on environmental, cultural and economic development, defining new strategies and plans, avoiding sectoral approaches and promoting a sustainable and efficient exploitation of cultural and environmental resources. Operatively the project aims to study and experiment new forms of integration of touristic chains connecting coastal areas to inland protected areas through the definition of innovative management solutions and the involvement of the private sector as well as public and local communities.
Study and testing activities are pointed at enhance the attractiveness of territories that include unexploited and underutilized protected areas and cultural heritage sites and to produce effective pilot projects on the side of touristic supply system.
The fragility of protected areas and the dynamic equilibrium of the boundary between land and sea require the definition of a strategy for the management and promotion of environmental resources to carefully maintain ecosystem services and biodiversity. Territorial planning and site-specific regulations (park plans, regulations of MPAs, management plans for Natura 2000 Network), their mutual integration and related participatory processes to decision-making have a key role in reaching integrated goals of preservation and promotion of sensitive areas.

The study will focus on defining and designing a new supply management system, which will reduce the conflicts between the various competing interests (economic, environmental, cultural and social) producing effective benefits for local communities and touristic operators. Involved stakeholders will be:
• Institutional subjects with expertise in managing protected areas (MPAs and Natura 2000 coastal sites);
• Subjects working in the following fields:
o receptivity;
o restaurants;
o entertainment;
o leisure time;
o tours and excursion of different types;
o exploitation of the museum system

In addition to economic operators, the project will also involve schools and other public-private cultural centers.

Simona Presenti for Municipality of Pachino-ITALY

on behalf of the Municipality of Pachino in Sicily (Siracusa) we’re interested in your proposal.

Sustainable tourism is a vital resource for the Pachino’s territory, also because of the high value the landscape, both coastal and inland, have for our area.

PGI resources produced in our territory are among our key assets for attractivity: vegetables, winery and fisheries. This means of course that the natural environment must be protected also under the perspective of preserving excellent agrifood production.

Furthermore, the Municipality have already started a project for the reuse of abandonded rail as green transport for eco-friendly tourism.

Please if our profile is suitable for your proposal contact me at: simona.presenti@gmail.com
Best regards

Dear Franceso,
From the Provincial Council of Granada, we have been working for a long time to try to create integrated strategies of tourism development that links the three main tourist flows of the province.
– Rural tourism, mountain and snow.
– Cultural tourism focused on the capital of Granada.
– Sun, beach and cultural tourism focused on the coast of Granada (Tropical coast of Granada).

In particular, one of the most important strategic lines of our organization is the one which combine the coastal tourism offer with inland destinations areas with special landscape and natural protected areas (National Park of Sierra Nevada – Alpujarra).

For all this, we would like to manifest our interest in participate in your project proposal. We think that your proposal it is a perfect opportunity to implement new and necessaries management systems that allow us to balance the tourism offer that from the coast can be derived to the interior preserving the natural value of these spaces.

Don’t hesitate to contact us for futher information,

My best regards,

Dear collegues,
Città Metropolitana di Catania, expresses its interest to join in your project proposal as a partner
Our body has some features that we think make it potentially qualified in this regard:
– it covers a territory characterized by two important UNESCO sites: one cultural (the baroque of Catania) and one environmental (Etna), as well as valuable rural and coastal itineraries with distinct environmental, cultural and gastronomic characteristics
– it has many years of experience on the participation in transnational cooperation projects.
Waiting for your kind reply
