🏝️ New impetus for tourism, culture and ecology in Tabarka

Alicante , 8 June 2025 - The Municipality of Alicante has announced the reactivation of the Environmental Education Centre (CEAM) on the island of New Tabarca . At the last meeting of the City Council, a decision was taken on a public tender for the provision of environmental, cultural and tourist development services for the centre for a period of 4 years, with the possibility of an extension of another two years.

🔸 The starting budget for the project is 14,000 euros , although proposals to increase the amount are welcome.

🎯 Project goals

🔹 Expanding opportunities for ecotourism and cultural programs on the island

🔹 Strengthening the role of the center as an educational and cultural space
