The United Nations have declared the 2017 the year of the Sustainable Tourism for Developmen and the UN agency UNWTO (United Nation World Tourism Organization) is participating to the 10 YFP with the Sustainable Tourism Programe. But why all this importance to the topic of tourism?
The sector of the Tourism is becoming more and more a driving force for the whole society and the environment. Refering just to the field of hospitality as sector involved with the tourism is an old and limited vision of this phenomenon.
If is not controlled, tourism can ruin the territory and the society.
But if it is designed, it can bring to life the territory and the society.
But what does it mean design the tourism today? Which forces should be involved in a good design?
We require that all the projects give solutions thinking to this new features that the Tourism propose in the contemporary global society.
