Abstract

Galicia is bathed by the sea along 1200 km. It´s not surprising therefore that fishing is the basis of its economy, creating up to 52 % of the employment in the fishing industry in Spain and up to 10 % in the whole of the European Union. Marine tourism in Galicia aims to add value to (put in value) the rich heritage associated with the sea and with the traditional fishing. Ambientarte carried out training projects for guides- interpreters with sea-workers to make guided tours with tourists, and projects linked to the dissemination of the importance of cultural marine heritage as well.
