To your roots

The ninth issue of the magazine dedicated to Roots Tourism is now available.

Highlights include itineraries to Favignana in Sicily, Vigo di Fassa in the Dolomites, and Termoli in Molise, showcasing these destinations’ unique charm and cultural significance.
The issue also features the story of Italian-American Nicole Ponti, creator of the “Body by Rigatoni” brand, demonstrating how cultural roots can intertwine with innovation.
Additionally, there is a report on the presentation of the training course for “Hospitality Commissioners,” targeting professionals in local government roles to enhance their skills in providing services related to Roots Tourism.
Finally, the impressive statistics of Roots Tourism for 2024: 34.4 million visits and €5 billion in spending in Italy. The issue ends with a curated selection of experiences across Italy for roots tourists, from the secrets of Venetian masks to those of the bells of Agnone.
