On 20th October 2022, WOOL project organized the Macro-regional event of the ADRION Thematic Cluster “Promotion of emerging destinations” dedicated to the Sustainable Tourism and Emerging Touristic Destinations. The 2 day-event took place in Matera and represented an opportunity to discuss the main concepts of sustainable development from a strategic point of view in the European and local policies, with some concrete examples of local strategies and plans for sustainable development; moreover, particto good practices were showcased, especially for rural mountainous areas and coastal ones. The first day conclued with a study visit to some realities of the territory which therefore constitute good experiences of relaunching and enhancing rural areas.
This ADRION Macro-regional event dealt primarily on knowledge transfer of what it is intended and developed in the field of “sustainability”, as a paradigm now entered in the daily life of our European and International societies, as a key for understanding economic, environmental and social development as lasting and respectful of natural resources.
