Initial authority contacts initiated for the pilot site

Finding the right pilot location is one of the most complex undertakings in the current project phase. In addition to economic and logistical criteria (visibility, accessibility, land area, infrastructure connections), municipal and administrative acceptance plays a decisive role.

aleae™ pursues a cooperative approach: we are not looking for land to occupy — we are looking for municipalities with which we can build something together.

Municipal cooperation can take various forms:

• Leasing of municipal land at favorable terms for the pilot project

• Support in accelerating approval procedures

• Joint communication and marketing of the location

• Networking with local stakeholders (gastronomy, activities, producers)

• Long-term economic participation through tourism taxes and local value creation

The location in the Aude should not only be an economic success for aleae™, but also serve as a model for other municipalities in the region and beyond: how can sustainable tourism infrastructure be created without compromising natural and cultural heritage?

Further updates on the site selection process will follow once concrete steps have been taken.
