Gal Terra Barocca
The LAG’s five municipalities (Ispica, Modica, Ragusa, Santa Croce Camerina and Scicli) are “building tourism together,” focusing on their tourism potential made up of nature reserves, Blue Flag beaches, archaeological sites and historic centers. To do this, the LAG participated in the INCIRCLE project as a replicating territory. In this way, it was able to apply and implement the project partners’ circular tourism models to its own territory.
Support INsular and low-density areas in the transition to a more CIRCular tourism economy.
INCIRCLE aims to support island and sparsely populated areas in the Mediterranean region to meet the growing environmental challenges caused by tourism activities by promoting the application of Circular Economy (CE) principles in the tourism sector, improving the quality of life for local communities and tourists!
