Project description

The project aims to preserve the natural character of the SAPCO Soucouta site while addressing the expectations of a rapidly growing eco-responsible clientele. In response to the negative impacts of tourism and industrialization on the environment and local culture, it offers a sustainable alternative focused on conserving natural heritage. It also aims to strengthen the involvement of local communities by generating jobs and income, contributing to the fight against rural exodus and irregular migration. The initiative supports the development of an integrated and sustainable tourism offer to protect vulnerable sites.
