What is the problem/issue you are trying to address?

[ The municipality of Veere wants to give Domburg a powerful impulse with the recognition of a badstatus and to the achievement of this profiling as a qualified vitality and wellness destination. Domburg can become of a classic coast destination to a contemporary OASIS by the sea where vitality, wellness and health quality and professional are offered. The underlying goal is the development of a contemporary and high-quality form of tourism that spending via a new impetus and new audiences year round tourism. The inhabitants are not sufficiently involved. That’s why we look how better products and services can be developed both for people living there and having their second home there, that encourage an active lifestyle, more reliance and longer independence of elderly.]
