- Sustainable PDL
In the strategic objectives of the Quality and Environment System of the Municipality of Ponta Delgada 2017-2021, regarding tourism, cultural and natural heritage development, there has been a reinforcement of policies to ensure added value to the economy, sustainability, tourism offer and cultural identity, namely, through actions:
- Census of natural assets with tourism potential;
- An incentive to training in the tourism sector, for the conservation, protection and development of natural spaces;
- Promotion of tourism circuits that differentiate us from other destinations;
- Creation of structures for the interpretation of the natural heritage;
- Support for cultural activities that foster a differentiating and dynamic municipality.
Ponta Delgada has a wide diversity of offers and experiences, which occur in the contexts of Nature, culture, religion, sports, science or leisure. The municipality has promoted, through some of these actions, the several parishes of the county with multiple offers for the tourist. In addition, it has worked to collect and make available information on places of tourist interest, so that the experience in the place is not only the observation of the place but also an interpretation, adding value to visitors and locals alike.
