Sustainable Tourism 3.0 … e la discussione continua online!

barcamppvA big thank you to the large group of people who gathered at BarCamp Palazzo Vecchio today to listen to what I propose to do to encourage sustainable tourism. The good turn-out at this session is also in part due to the interesting talk given by Aaron Craig on what can be done to help socialize Italian and American university students. As I mentioned, my goal is to write a pamphlet to help tourists visit Florence responsibly. This discussion is continuing online – you are invited to comment on the page I’ve created for the occasion.

Un grazie di cuore a tutti coloro che oggi hanno partecipato al BarCamp PalazzoVecchio per ascoltare le mie proposte per incoraggiare il turismo sostenibile nelle citta’ d’arte come Firenze. L’ottima riuscita di questa sessione e’ anche merito di Aaron Craig che ci ha parlato di come facilitare la socializzazione tra studenti universitari americani (e stranieri in generale) e italiani. Come vi ho anticipato il mio obbiettivo e’ realizzare un librettino che aiuti i turisti a visitare Firenze in maniera responsabile. La discussione continua online sul WIKI di BarCamp e sulla pagina che ho creato per l’occasione.
