WTE_World Tourism Expo revival

Published on 21 September 2011 in 2011, 2011, Anno, Cultura, Arte, Patrimonio, Notizie and Turismo. Closed Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , .

Here we are, back from the WTE_World Tourism Expo, the trade fair especially dedicated to those travel destinations that are also UNESCO World Heritage sites, and that are thus listed under the UNESCO World Heritage List. This second edition took place in Assisi, Italy from the 16th to the 19th of September 2011, and – as last the year’s one - it has been highly promoted by the Associazione Beni Italiani Patrimonio Mondiale UNESCO, chaired by Claudio Ricci, who is Assisi Mayor.

Among visitors and exhibitors there mainly were delegates of cultural institutions, of public authorities, of foundations associations and consortium, of tourism facilities, of travel agencies, of tour operators, of small traditional goods producers. Therefore, among professional workshops, seminaries, and food&wine tasting, conversations and contects have been very selective, qualified, and certainly dedicated to the travelling industry’s insiders.

In this occasion, the Romualdo Del Bianco Foundation® brought and promoted the Life Beyond Tourism® No-Profit Portal, but it also was representative of  Florence, with a stand at the second floor of Palazzo Monte Frumentario, as well as with a seminary in Palazzo Vallemani on Sunday 18th. As a matter of fact, the seminary has been realized in collaboration with Carlo Francini, director of  the UNESCO Historic Center of the Municipality of  Florence.

If  you didn’t get the chance to visit us in Assisi, below is the photogallery where your can revive the WTE experience:
