Description
The authors would like to acknowledge EP INTERREG V A España-Portugal Program (POCTEP) for financing MOVELETUR project.
This paper looks over the perpetual fight that low density regions must face in what regards the emergence of economic opportunities, employment, income and production growth. It is known that tourism demand for nature and protected areas is increasing in this more and more urban world, what can open some doors for innovation to take place. The project we’ve been working on is focused on sustainable tourism practices in a protected area (Malcata Mountain Reserve), via electric mobility, which is known for its zero emission, non-polluting and noise free travelling. A broader study is taking place under the Interreg Funding Program, known as Moveletur Project. Our goals are to sponsor a model of sustainable and green tourism for visitors of natural areas, to produce a network of green tourism itineraries linking places of natural and/or cultural value using rechargeable vehicles and to encourage tourism sector entrepreneurs with a new service for their activity. Combined work with other natural areas is essential to increase outcomes. After the conclusion of project (by the end of 2018) there will be better information concerning natural and cultural values that natural areas hold and that can be used for tourists’ pleasure, there will be a more dutiful way of doing tourism in natural areas, expectantly it will address job creation and improved territorial competitiveness, tourism experiences will have more quality and, finally, using technological features, will support smart villages further development.
