"Coastal and Maritime Tourism" (2.1)

The sea and tourism make up a sector that covers extremely important issues, such as quantifying the economic contribution made by maritime tourism, the development of marinas, environmental sustainability, promotion and commercialisation, the development of health products, and innovative techniques. Europe is taking these issues into account to develop a constructive approach that aims to make the best possible use of the value of coastal regions.
