Summary
Blue tourism is a significant force driving the development of coastal regions in the Atlantic Area. It holds great potential for generating wealth and plays a crucial role in the European Union's blue economy. However, the growth in this sector affects the social and environmental aspects of the coast, bringing about challenges for the local population and authorities. Responding to these challenges requires the development of new forms of blue tourism that can be shared across borders.
SEALabHaus is introducing an innovative and integrated approach, inspired by the New European Bauhaus (NEB), through the collaborative design of a transnational laboratory for the Atlantic Area. This project aims to create advanced structures, tools, and services that will enhance the connections and specialized capabilities of the region. It supports unique, innovative, sustainable, and inclusive projects based on NEB values.
The project's main goal is to revolutionize the tourism and blue culture value chain. By transforming, revitalizing, and enhancing the coastal tourism ecosystem, the project seeks to achieve balance with the sea. This balance is seen as a crucial element for resilience, well-being, and long-term sustainability in coastal areas.
