Eco-sustainable tourism and social well-being: A statistical analysis

The tourism sector has had a significant stop, closely related to the pandemic that has hit the world hard. Tourism is expected to restart which this time includes greater attention to sustainability for each single segment of the sector's supply chain. In Italy, sustainable tourism is leveraged, highlighting the individual territorial and cultural characteristics, experiential tourism, naturalistic tourism and so on. In this first work, we want to focus on what the conditions of the country are for a feasibility study projected at the forefront of sustainable tourism and the ETIS indicators proposed by the European Union. The work proposes the measurement and construction of sustainability indicators in the context of innovative tourism that embraces eco-environmental sustainability in its various facets in a city context. The aim of this work is to implement experiential tourism linked to nutrition and food in agricultural typification areas located in the metropolitan urban fabric to support the tourism sector so hard hit by the pandemic. Sustainable tourism must be supported by constant monitoring of the territorial and local reality and by the construction of sustainability indicators as the directives of sustainable tourism for Europe advocate. This work proposes the construction of some specific sustainability indicators of the sector under the aspect of statistical methodology. For this purpose, we will use a factor analysis that will best define the construction of composite indicators.
