POST

Tourism is a sector that must transform the resources of the territory into sustainable economic activity, preventing the negative effects of inadequate management: pressure on the territory or deterioration of heritage. POST aims to explore innovative ways to make tourism in the Atlantic Area sustainable with the "Polycentric Tourism".

This initiative aims to prevent negative impacts on the environment and heritage caused by inadequate tourism management. Working in collaboration with partners and the tourism sector, POST will develop and test the "Polycentric Tourism" concept, focusing on redistributing tourist flows in inland territories. The goal is to create a strategy for sustainable tourism, promoting tourism in the Atlantic Area's hinterland while alleviating pressure on highly affected areas. The project will implement four pilot Action Plans to showcase the effectiveness of the concept and serve as a guide for other regions interested in adopting sustainable tourism practices.
