This program, funded by the European Union, primarily aims to support initiatives that generate employment opportunities and foster sustainability in rural areas. The majority of the submitted projects are linked to the tourism sector, considered a key economic activity for the inland regions.
The GAL Maestrat Plana Alta emphasizes that these grants are an essential tool for promoting new investments and improving existing businesses, especially in smaller municipalities. Each initiative has a direct impact on the local economy and contributes to maintaining services and employment in the area.
“"Each project represents an opportunity to continue building a vibrant territory, with economic activity and the capacity to attract and retain population. Tourism remains one of the major drivers of the interior, but we are increasingly seeing more professional projects focused on sustainability and quality."
The local action group has also highlighted the importance of the accompanying service it offers throughout the application process. This technical and guidance support is fundamental for many entrepreneurs who need help to bring their ideas to fruition.
With this balance, the GAL Maestrat Plana Alta reaffirms its role as a driving force in the territory, supporting initiatives that contribute to generating opportunities, strengthening the business fabric, and consolidating a development model linked to the rural environment and its resources.
