Abstract
The Turquoise Zones are a more complex expression of a new quality of life. On the one hand, technological mobility has made the most remote areas easily accessible, and on the other, the social impact of megatrends has brought new trends to the surface. These Turquoise Zones are characterised by a new quality of life, a new way of living. Climatic conditions, climate, number of hours of sunshine across the mediterranean, subtropical areas and sunshine hours above 2000. They have beaches or water (lakes, rivers, spa, and hot springs) locations; technological and digital capabilities (Wi-Fi coverage); quality services (recreation, health, digital services); cultural and historical heritage, cultural diversity (music, visual arts, literature, theatre, World Heritage Sites, UNESO Intangible Cultural Heritage); nature and naturalness (national parks, ecoregions); gastronomy: restaurants, healthy food, superfoods, varied and special quality gastronomic offers, community spaces and bars, cafés; accessibility and connectivity. New lifestyle places involve creativity and innovation, the relationship and harmony between design, architecture and nature, innovation, education, productivity, liveability, satisfaction and happiness factors, price/value ratio, spiritualism/religion, yoga, mindset and lifestyle. The Turquoise Zones are unique and special, offering something extra beyond the traditional tourist attractions and even avoiding the main and crowded tourist destinations.
