The project aims to promote the economic, social and tourism development of the Recinto 6 de Julio, through the design of an operational and tourist pier that will generate benefits for the residents of the precinct, most of whom are dedicated to the harvesting of crabs. The design of the dock will become a representative infrastructure that will provide greater operational capacity for the inhabitants of the zone, new activities that will boost the local economy and better planning tools to manage their tourism activities. Therefore, the PREIT-Tour team wishes the research teachers every success in their proposal and hopes that these actions can be replicated in other territories for the benefit of local communities.
