My Seminar in Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands University, 2018

The scope of the seminar is to help students to develop sustainable tourism offers, including accommodation, catering, activities.
The seminar refers to the EU year of Cultural Heritage and underlines how cultural proposals can help to address the thorny issue of seasonality in sea&sand popular destinations such as Palma de Mallorca. It will be stressed how sustainable tourism with its potentialities connected to outdoor low-impact sports, the valorization of less popular locations can help to better menage tourism, defuse the concentration of tourists' flow and better distribute holiday-makers on the territory.

Students will be stimulated to create articulated packages that would be based on existing green realities (local hosts, farmers, producers; little known material heritage, immaterial heritage events/traditions; nature and landscapes beyond the mainstream trials and spots).  

Topics:
1) Introduction to Sustainable Tourism,
2) Eco-friendly accommodations
3) Food&Wine experience and sharing
4) Outdoor sports & activities
5) Domestic regulations and norms
6) Cultural Heritage: 2018 EU year
7) Events vs Seasonality
8) Liaising&stake holders

There’s a form of modernity, which invites to awareness, comprehension, preservation, promotion, and being present in the present, with all the time this process requires. All this happens while you eat, as well.   Slow Food (https://www.slowfood.it/)   was born as a reaction to fast food, that is to say to those large chains that have established themselves in recent decades and that make you eat standardized food, in a bite.

Ciao! It’s a loooong winter, and I am really taking my time. So yes, I acknowledge that I’ve been lazy. ;-) well, who isn’t every now and then? And it’s winter, still: unroll the bear in you…   Back to our beloved topic of International organizations and sustainable tourism, in listing some institutions the European Union collaborates with (see the posts EU 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5 ), the name of the United Nations (UN) has obviously emerged.
