Santa Teresa Blue Camp, the training program for operators at sea and on land of the Capo Testa Punta Falcone Marine Protected Area, has been successfully accomplished by 30 Tourist operators. The course, financed by the Italian Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security, which the MEDSEA foundation coordinated these months, in collaboration with the municipality of Santa Teresa Gallura, started on January 30 and ended on March, 15th 2023.
100 hours of training for a program that touched the three pillars of sustainability by bringing concrete and tangible examples, among the environmental, social and economical sustainability. The course started last January 30 in hybrid mode, online and live, with more than thirty operators including guides, diving centres, b&bs, hotels and service providers. The ultimate goal of the Santa Teresa Blue Camp was to improve knowledge of the Marine Protected Area and its environmental and natural features, to learn some storytelling and communication techniques suitable for highlighting the distinctive aspects of the territory, as well as educate guests on sustainable tourism. Finally, an in-depth look at digital tools, including social media, paid ads, sales funnels and marketing plans.
