Fish tourism saves rural economy
One of the attractions of the French Dordogne is its sport fishing, which this map shows in detail. Sports fishing associations can check various forms of compliance based on the information in this map. The rivers in the region are disrupted by numerous dams, referred to as ‘barrages.’, and due to stringent European regulations aimed at preserving fish migration, many of these dams are currently being demolished. In this way, tourism becomes the saviour for a region struggling with depopulation.
