The course focuses on the specificities of mountain destinations.
The first theoretical part is aimed at describing the different types of mountain destinations, the challenges of climate change and the possible forms of resilience.
The second part explores the “Win-Win Experience”, a successful model applied in global and Italian UNESCO mountain destinations, engaging 3,000 entrepreneurs.
The model fosters experiential tourism in mountain destinations by integrating material and immaterial heritage enhancing local businesses (food, agriculture, crafts, ) through voluntary public-private networks.
The applied case study will focus on the Rock Drawings in Valcamonica, designated as the first Italian UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979.
Key takeaways:
students will acquire hands-on practical tools & techniques to develop:
* Experiential tourist products and services with economic and social value based on the cultural, natural and environmental resources of mountain areas.
* Tourist product in which local culture represents an important development drive for the local economy.
* Win-Win partnership between Private and Public stakeholders to foster year-round mountain tourism and local development.
