Infrastructure to boost tourism while improving fishers' lives

A Bulgarian coastal community is increasing tourism and improving working conditions for fishers through the construction of a “cultural and historic complex” tourist centre and boat shelters.

The boat shelter is situated on three piers accommodating up to 40 vessels and provides a safe haven for non-industrial fishing boats. It contains a launch ramp, an open area for boat repair, a checkpoint and lighting system, and a pier. 

The cultural and historic complex includes a multifunctional hall, a sailors’ café, exhibition houses with workshops for children, a park space with a picnic area and a playground, as well as a seafront promenade and a square with an amphitheatre for small outdoor concerts. The complex is used for training sessions, exhibitions and demonstrations of fishing practices.

Results

  • Creation of a safe and healthy environment for fishers.
  • Enhanced support for the local fishing community through improved infrastructure.
  • Construction of a cultural heritage exhibition centre.
  • Development of programmes and training for animators.
