as well as to relaxation and nature based offers. The Mediterraneo TEC concept is taking these ideas much further.The intention is to make better and more ecological use of existing resources, reinstate those in decline and develop others by harnessing potential a ssets, d iversifying t he existing narrow local economy, and introducing a much wider range of innovative and high value added activities, preferably less dependent on the seasons. Instead of confining development and economic growth to the coast, new strategies are planning to reach further inland to provide
richer, more diversified experiences for visitors, a less volatile economic base for the inhabitants, and a more sustainable environment, by regenerating declining areas, fostering activities and housing for the local population, and restoring damaged environments. Such a strategy is expected to provide a more stable future for the local population, with training and educational facilities for new, less precarious jobs, provided by a n i nnovative e conomic d ynamic w hich i s expected to attract new talent, businesses and investment from the outside.
