(ANSA) – ROME, NOV 26 – Sustainable, green and underwater archaeological tourism: the second day of the Mediterranean Exchange of Archaeological Tourism in progress until Sunday 28 November in Paestum.
The Automobile Club Italia, Federparchi, Confagricoltura, Legambiente, Touring Club Italiano and Trenitalia are the main recipients of one of the three proposals launched by the Exchange to change the structure of the Italian destination and the travel possibilities in the beautiful country: experiential tourism, sustainability , the development of inland areas, electric mobility, the use of regional trains and the Park model become protagonists for the enhancement of the archaeological heritage. And among the initiatives of the BMTA, the proposal to use electric cars in National Parks, for sustainable mobility and in connection with the stations served by regional trains, starting from the National Park of Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni. Perspectives and critical issues were the focus of a meeting with representatives of organizations and institutions, the leaders of the parks. “With 6800 trips a day, 1700 locations reached, 467 million more passengers in 2019 and 50% of the renewed fleet, with spaces for bikes, the Trenitalia network plays its part in enhancing the Parks – said Sabrina De Filippis Business Regional Trenitalia – Our trains reach 33 Unesco sites and are combined with buses to reach the archaeological areas “. The geologist Mario Tozzi, who spoke as president of the Appia Antica park, is critical: “Italy prides itself on being the country with the most archaeological evidence, but it is not the most visited because there is no serious protection of the traveler who, if it comes, it does not come back. The prices are impossible and the surrounding situations are not good: we focus on a single tourist season and, for the rest, we are fugitives. Not to mention the aspect that affects legality: in Rome there are 30 thousand tourists a day not registered because they are in illegal structures “. Sustainable, noted Giovanni Cannata President of the National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio, Molise “is a very pronounced word but very little practiced”, and then focuses on the accessibility of the territories and on the “very critical” network connection problems that have the internal areas of the Parks. Rosario Rago Member of the Executive Board of Confagricoltura has called for an important investment model, which integrates the needs of protection and enhancement of the excellence and cultural heritage of the territory; on the same wavelength Donatella Bianchi, who as President of the Cinque Terre National Park has invoked an “interdisciplinary and transversal vision” for the Country System in general and for that of Parks in particular, recalling how much the advent of the railway line has engraved in making the “Vertical” Park, which she directs, become a destination for three million tourists a year. “The important work is to connect knowledge, in addition to making a great effort to invest in communication and quality”, exhorted Alfonso Pecoraro Scanio President of the UniVerde Foundation, while “simplifying the too complex bureaucratic process” is the priority invoked by Agostino Casillo President of the Vesuvius National Park. “The Parks model should be an important paradigm for tourism”, remarked Renzo Iorio Deputy Vice President of Federturismo, while Gabriele Milani General Director of the FTO launched an appeal: “As companies, we ask that organized tourism be valued by the institutions and listened to and consulted for communication and promotion “.
