The Daivões Dam Management Plan, located in Ribeira de Pena, entered commercial operation phase in summer 2022. However, the management process has not yet been completed, which is blocking several tourism projects in the region.
The Ribeira de Pena council expresses concern about this situation. The mayor states that the process is not completed and fears it may not even have been started, showing frustration with bureaucratic delays.
The management plan is essential for regulating the development of tourism activities and real estate projects in the dam area. Without its completion, developers are prevented from moving forward with new initiatives in the region.
Ribeira de Pena is a municipality in the Vila Real district that has invested in tourism and activities related to the dam as a driver of local development. The uncertainty surrounding the management process potentially compromises these economic growth plans for the territory.
