Strategic Development Plan for the Agri-food and Tourism Sectors
About the Project
Ruris prepared a document setting out a strategic analysis of the area covered by the Amarante Business Association, with the aim of putting forward a set of actions to stimulate the local economy, particularly in the agri-food and tourism sectors, translated into a realistic development strategy tailored to the area under study.
Ruris therefore carried out the following actions:
- A study of the region, the competition and case studies:
- gathering and analysing information in order to build the fullest possible picture of the region, its competitors and successful and unsuccessful national and international cases.
- Interviews with the most relevant local stakeholders (focus group);
- Preparation of a forward-looking assessment of the conditions for the development and growth of the agri-food sector in the Baixo Tâmega sub-region: the municipalities of Amarante, Baião, Marco de Canaveses and Celorico de Basto.
