Piani strategici sul turismo delle regioni italiane: un’analisi comparativa

Abstract

In Italy, the recent constitutional reforms have given regional administrations an increasing weight over government and tourism regulation. Therefore, observing the regions' Strategic Plans represents a valuable model for understanding the Italian tourist reality. For this reason, the article proposes a comparison of the tourist planning documents of the Italian regions, recalling indicators extracted from the paper of the UNWTO - World Tourism Organization - on the policies and objectives of spatial tourism planning. The article analyses the strategic plans through a synthesis indicator, which compares the main items considered in the regional strategies and their presence in the general scheme adopted by the UNWTO. This analysis aims to offer elements for the new regional tourism planning regarding the unique challenges posed by the pandemic, suggesting some indications for the new National Recovery and Resilience Plan adopted by Italy.
