Rota Vicentina to create a Welcome and Interpretation Centre

2 reading time

We want to hear your opinion!

Rota Vicentina is creating a small Welcome and Interpretation Centre at its headquarters in Odemira to receive visitors, travellers and the community. It will be a meeting point for everyone connected to this territory — its history and its future. And we would love to have your input! How? It’s simple.

A place for hikers, cyclists, volunteers, godparents, Rota Vicentina members, local businesses, partners, institutions, visitors, and the entire community — the new Welcome and Interpretation Centre aims to be a small space of information that tells stories and embraces imagination, dreams, and utopia.

To make sure this future Centre is a space by everyone and for everyone, Rota Vicentina has created a form where anyone interested can share their wishes, ideas, and opinions.

What would you like this Centre to be?
What kind of information should it provide?
What must not be missing?
What kind of experience should it offer?
How can we make a difference?
How can we make it unforgettable?

Share with us your visions and experiences from other small-scale Centres that could serve as inspiration!

Share your opinion!

Thank You!

The future Welcome and Interpretation Centre of Rota Vicentina is supported by Turismo de Portugal, the Regenerar Territórios Programme, and co-funded by the Municipality of Odemira.
