COAST LEGAL FRAMEWORK

The competitiveness of the coastal regulatory framework plays a key role in the development of blue tourism. While it is essential to ensure the protection of marine and coastal ecosystems, the challenges and problems associated with the beach management plans, the coastal legislation and the relationship with business operators can be quite complex. Sometimes the implementation of beach management plans and the application of regulations can create conflicts between the environmental protection and business needs, hampering their harmonious coexistence. The rigidity of the Coast Law can hinder sustainable tourism development, while the promotion of business investment can clash with conservation objectives. In this delicate balance, a careful yet strategic collaboration between authorities, businesses and environmental organizations is needed to ensure that regulations promote a responsible and high-quality blue tourism that protects our valuable marine resources and provides economic and development opportunities in harmony with the environment.
