These activities fall under component 1 which consists of developing integrated and resilient tourism and blue economy infrastructures, with the objective of remodeling the infrastructures to expand the tourism offer and create an enabling environment for future private sector investment while improving the quality, sustainability, and resilience of the selected destinations.
