In our challenging world, the economic impact will drive our project forward, because we and the network will:
- create a sustainable alternative for tourist areas;
- contribute to the boom of green industries (energy, cars and buses);
- encourage local organic agricultural production, arts and crafts;
- create new demand for new activities, devices and related IT services;
- increase general market consumption through the activity of people who live longer.
Main actors and key players have their roles and responsibilities
The local communities, as individuals or as NGOs, are the key players in achieving the status and membership in the network, by developing their own policies in accordance with their particular gifts from nature and with the general framework defined in the concept.
We have to get support from governmental entities, because our initiative:
- contributes to decreasing the cost of medical assistance;
- reduces urban pressure by spreading out the activities of the older population;
- creates jobs (and taxes) and offers a chance to regions which rely on income from their natural and human assets.
Investors and donors are invited and welcome to support our project, and also the other cities which will be in the network, in:
- the real estate component – refurbishing the existing accommodation infrastructure and adapting it for long-term stays (45 days recommended) and, as a second stage, new investments;
- infrastructure developments;
- human resources – education, qualification and permanent training;
- research and marketing.
