The project produced Guideline for sustainable valorization of saltworks. The main activities considered are sustainable: Management of the area Salt production Carrying capacity for tourism Marketing and promotion
Currently not all the activities are fully exploited to the maximum level. Are there other sustainable activities?
Are there other sustainable activities? In Black sea saltworks exploit other two resources: 1) Medicinal mud 2) Lye (concentrated solution, produced during the salt extraction, rich in microelements such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, chlorine, bromine, sulphates, etc..
Are there other sustainable activities? In Black sea saltworks exploit other two resources: 1) Medicinal mud Mud is used both for skin cure and beauty treatment (SPA), that is another increase in tourism.
Are there other sustainable activities? In Black sea saltworks exploit other two resources: 2) Lye is used in SPA and in toothpaste!
CONCLUSION Saltworks are a very good example of sustainable development Traditional activities currently are not fully exploited; Salworks hold potentially new economic activities not yet exploited in this region.
