Tourism is one of the economic activities with most significant potential to generate future growth and employment in the EU. In this context, the Atlantic-Geoparks project addresses a common main challenge: to promote the Atlantic Geoparks as a unique, leading tourist destination through the right balance between protection of the environment and the development of economic activity in the current context of a global competitive and changing tourist sector. This project aims to boost the economic activity by creating new businesses and increasing the number of jobs in the service sector. It also aims to influence regional policies by sensitizing public authorities about the need to legislate and manage the geological areas under both, economic and environmental sustainable criteria supported by European policies and the recommendations of UNESCO. The project will allow the Atlantic Geoparks to have a common identity and an internationally recognized image. Moreover, the creation of a European Atlantic Geotourism Route will be clearly committed to its growth and will therefore actively work for the incorporation of new geological areas. In summary, the project will be a new opportunity for territorial development linked to the Geotourism and for adding value to the Atlantic Geoparks as a means for sustainable development, conservation and geodiversity across the Atlantic Area.
