The Association promotes cultural tourism, food and wine and supply chains aimed at enhancing the territories through an integrated tourist offer of “lesser known” UNESCO sites, which makes the connection between touristic territories, culturally and artistically united by UNESCO recognition, visible and usable. It intends to support “another Italy”, the one that is proposed to an international audience by connecting the peculiarities that contribute to a surplus with respect to an increasingly targeted demand for new travelers.
