The Marina Alta - three
different economic zones
The Marina Alta has joined forces
to fight unemployment and define
strategies to boost the regional
economy.
Under the umbrella of the
Consortium for the Economic
Recovery and Activity of the
Marina Alta (Creama), the
municipalities of the region have
come together in the Territorial
Agreement for Employment and
Local Development.
They have a valuable tool:
the Territorial Diagnosis of the
Marina Alta.
A detailed study of the Marina
Alta, as a socio-economic
unit, which shows that it is
heterogeneous and can be roughly
divided into three areas: The coast
(with its sun and beach tourism),
the Interior (which suffers from
depopulation, lack of agricultural
prospects and poor infrastructure)
and an intermediate zone between
the two.
Actions to improve the economy
need to be tailored the area
concerned and complementary to
those of other areas.
The
bad
transport
communications, both within and
connecting areas, are a common
problem affecting all areas.
