Presentation (with Giulia Motta): "FuoriVia Egnatia: a multilevel approach for historical cultural routes regeneration
Cultural routes development is an important trend in global tourism sector that is contributing to the definition of new forms of alternative tourism as the sustainable tourism, ecotourism, and “slow travel”. Since the development of Camino di Santiago trail at the beginning of the 1990s, different itineraries have been developed, incrementing the walking tourism offer and contributing to the definition of methodological approaches and criteria for cultural routes management. Since 2015, FuoriVia Cultural Association is working on the regeneration of ancient Via Egnatia, walking across the Balkans from Durrës to Istanbul in five years with a group of researchers and explorers. FuoriVia main goal is to design Via Egnatia as a walking itinerary through a multilevel approach, offering a methodological contribution to walking tourism development in this area of the Mediterranean. This project allows to elaborate a different methodological approach to historical cultural routes planning, allowing to build a network of institution and communities interested in Via Egnatia regeneration. Furthermore, a wide panel of different opportunities will emerge from this new multilevel methodological approach.
