Sustainable tourism is a type of tourism that meets the needs of tourists, the tourist industry, and host communities today without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Italy’s travel and tourism sector is gradually implementing “green” methods. In particular, hotels are working to lower carbon emissions by investigating alternative energy sources and encouraging visitors to practice energy efficiency, recycling, and litter prevention.
The Italian government and business leaders are realizing that in the medium to long term sustainable tourism will be the only model available. As a result, they are putting various efforts to promote sustainable tourism.
Customers are also expecting eco-friendlier items as they become more aware of concerns with and practices related to sustainable tourism. Other industry trends that impact demand include the preservation of regional cultural elements and the restoration of traditions. These developments are frequently supported by the government.
According to Future Market Insights analysis, Italy’s sustainable tourism efforts largely promote less well-known regions such as Lombardy, Veneto, Tuscany, Campania, and Emilia Romagna.
