Sustainable and slow tourism, which enhances the cultural and natural heritage of the territory through the sharing of good practices and experiences that are able to respond to the requests of tourists and travelers eager to immerse themselves in a reality rich in history and traditions, with great potentialities tied to the intermodality and the services.
This is the theme of the workshop, which is part of the project Interreg Italy - Croatia BOOST5, of which SIPRO is a partner.
The aim of the workshop is to raise awareness on local stakeholders and tourist operators on the importance of considering tourism as “regenerative”, which focuses on the needs of the community, improves the integrity of the ecosystem, and adopts different business models through a design and subsequent management with the territory and its stakeholders.
In this context, it is not only the role of public stakeholders that is central, increasingly called to promote slow mobility and environmental sustainability; it is also the role of individuals, businesses, and operators. This means not only the system of services and hospitality, which certainly represent an excellent starting point but also the potential in terms of the reuse of artifacts along the cycle paths, the organization of cultural and engaging events, intermodality with waterways and public transport, the promotion of innovative services for travelers.
The event was organized with the support of Ferrara Sviluppo Imprese and aimed at raising awareness on local private and public stakeholders on the importance of sharing best practices to improve sustainable and slow tourism at the local level. This is crucial for the enhancement of tangible and intangible heritage as well as the promotion and the implementation of ideas that are expressions of communities.
