The Strategic Tourism Plan 2023-2027 approved by the Council of Ministers on 17 July 2023 aims to increase the attractiveness of Italy and improve the distribution of international and national tourist flows. To this end, the Plan promotes alternative destinations, which, although now less frequented, deserve to be known and enjoyed for the specific values they possess, which derive from their history and the traditions they carry. These destinations are linked to the quality of the natural resources and landscapes and are attributable to particular aspects of the contemporary world. In essence, the Plan aims to collect the latent instances of territories that would like to enhance their specificities (“there are also me”) and by virtue of them integrate, expand, diversify, the national tourist offer (“why all there?”).

The objective of the Strategic Tourism Plan (PST) – of fundamental importance not only for the national economy but also for the vitality, preservation and regeneration of many parts of Italy such as the internal areas, villages, some urban areas – urges spatial planning and town planning, along with economic planning, territorial marketing, architectural design, to take action, integrating, to achieve it.

The opening conference of the 20th edition of Urbanpromo, promoted by the INU in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, wants to affirm the vision of an innovative, inclusive, responsible, decentralized and seasonally adjusted tourism, sustainable, through the dissemination and sharing of experiences representative of this vision. The conference focuses on four types of experiential tourism using the institutional expertise of the Ministry of Tourism and the results of scientific research programs carried out by representatives of the INU.
