COMAR - Research Center on Communication and Maritime Tourism

The establishment of the Research Center dedicated to boating and sustainable nautical tourism responds to an urgent need to rethink the sector in an innovative and responsible key. Through scientific research, statistical analysis, and the promotion of evidence-based strategies, the Center aims to provide operational tools and advanced knowledge to guide the sector toward a growth model compatible with environmental, social, and economic balances. The Center's primary goal is to become a national and international point of reference for research and innovation in the field of boating and sustainable nautical tourism.
