A considerable number of marine, underwater and land caves are found in the territory of the Municipality of Camerota. Many of them are concentrated in areas of remarkable environmental interest that offer extraordinary, suggestive settings full of history and beauty.

The aim of the Project, of which this work is part, was the re-evaluation and protection of the local subterranean heritage. The uniqueness and scientific as well as cultural importance of such heritage allowed for the activation of a process for "compatible" tourism, which meant not only opening sites to visitors, but also involving the whole territory at different levels and promoting high value scientific as well as educational activities.

Consequently, we have tried to offer visitors to the Park a richer cultural package by making scientific findings on local geology, archaeology and marine biology available to the wider public.

We have also tried to set the promotion of local natural resources within a single, integrated framework aimed at setting in motion business initiatives on the one hand and educational as well as informational activities on the other, in an attempt to raise the expectations of local young people.

This will provide a great boost to reception and accommodation activities and to activities aimed at promoting the Park's environmental resources broadly speaking.
