Abstract
Tourism throughout Europe can be said to be founded, almost exclusively, on places of culture, in It-aly this is even more true, considering that our country has always been the destination with the most di-versified landscapes and cultural offerings. However, over the years the concept of cultural tourism has significantly evolved, from the enjoy-ment of cultural and landscape assets in the most traditional sense, to Heritage tourism, including the in-tangible dimension of assets, up to Creative tourism, which enhances the performing arts and forms of contemporary creativity. This last type of tourism finds great impetus also in the recent “Colao Plan”, which among other pro-posals for the recovery of the Italian economy, promotes the expansion of the network of creative cities (UNESCO Creative Cities Network) to strengthen cooperation between cities that identify culture and creativity as strategic elements, fundamental and essential factors for their sustainable development, in line with the 2030 Agenda. Tourism takes on a particular significance when it contributes to cultural elevation, after all, the en-tire Chapter II, Title V, of the Tourism Code is dedicated to cultural tourism, which assumes a socially fundamental role and value of cultural enrichment. The provisions contained in the relaunch decree no. 34 of 2020, - converted into law no. 77 of 2020 - with regard to culture, can essentially be summarized in three guidelines: allocation of economic measures, incentives for private participation and expansion of subjects who can take advantage of the Art bonus, creation of a digital platform by Mibact for the use of cultural heritage and shows. However, it is clear that the use of post-Covid-19 cultural heritage will be subject to significant changes. One of the first profiles that become indispensable for the enjoyment of cultural heritage, responding to the precautionary criteria and invoking social distancing, necessary to tackle the fight against the pandemic, is found in the need to increase the use of cultural heritage outdoors. Italy, and especially the South, has multiple archaeological sites and ecomuseums. After the crisis, there is certainly the need to conceive a new education in tourism of culture and na-ture, identifying different ways of using it. The new imperatives could be reduced to the verbs decongest, contingent, slow down. Italy is, by definition, the most favored candidate for this new vision of sustainable and slow cultural tourism, both for the large amount of cultural heritage it hosts and sites recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, and for the great amount of historic paths. In this perspective, it is clear that it is necessary to invest in sustainability and only the Green New Deal will be the way forward in the coming years and that, far from creating new constraints for econom-ic operators, on the contrary, it will contribute to increasing jobs in the field of tourism.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
