The programme includes some Guidelines that aim at incentivizing the managers of UNESCO sites to adopt sustainable actions and behaviors. The seminars, dedicated to the management of tourism in territories characterized by UNESCO WorldHeritage designations, are part of the many activities implemented by Fondazione Santagata to diffuse this tool, through the different training programmes it is involved in and its network of partnerships.

PARTNER
