The Mediterranean is a melting pot of civilizations, a testimony of our origins and an inspiration for the future. The south of the Mediterranean needs tourism but also has the utmost need for peace, stability, and cooperation in order to work it out between both shores.
Tourism is no longer just an economic sector, as people are recently experiencing a change and self consciousness towards the conversion of natural and cultural heritage and Sustainable Tourism may drive the way to a new awareness of visitors and hosting local communities.
The United Nations recognizes tourism’s contribution to people and to the planet through peace and prosperity. Transforming the Mediterranean in an area of peace, cooperation investing and promoting sustainable tourism may be the turning point for future generations. Enhance the Mediterranean into a common area for all its inhabitants and visitors with the aim of increasing its potential for sustainable growth and prioritize the achievements to the Sustainable Development Goals.
Capitalizing on tourism’s potential to advance economic growth, social inclusiveness, women, and youth employment as well as poverty and inequality reduction is the contribution that tourism may offer, by raising awareness on environmental safeguard and biodiversity preservation and boost on climate change relief.
The project aims to strengthen the links among the countries coasting the Mediterranean Sea and encourage the development of a network capable of supporting a rational conversion targeting sustainable enhancement.
The Med Blu Marina-Network project is potentially a new concept to develop marinas cooperation adopting the values and essential features of sustainable tourism, as an incentive to local economic development. A sustainable marina- network as an incentive to local development by putting into effect the goals recommended by the United Nations and promote a responsible “Peace” oriented tourism as a driver of economic growth tracing the path for future generations.
