Peniche conference to weigh the sea's role in territorial branding and tourism

The University of Leiria and Oeste is holding a conference in Peniche on 26 October, from 1.30pm, at the auditorium of its School of Tourism and Marine Technology. Organised with the School of Education and Social Sciences, it examines how the sea can underpin territorial brands and tourism development. After an opening session with the national sea policy director, Peniche's mayor and a university vice-rector, two panels follow. One covers territorial brands, with speakers from Brazilian institutions; the other looks at the sea as a strategic asset, with academics and a Nazaré municipal representative.
