Discovering Southern Latium: a Daily Excursion from Rome

Planning complex daily excursions is a challenging task, as value is co-designed and co-produced by a variety of stakeholders. Moreover, attention must be paid to territorial development and accessibility when considering the tourist attractiveness of rural and natural areas. Based on a horizontal screening of a sample of rural destinations, students are invited to elaborate a set of policy recommendations to facilitate the implementation of a tourism-related bottom-up process of value creation. After the sharp fall in international tourism triggered by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, daily excursions and local tourism could be key factors in increasing people’s well-being and supporting the recovery of Italy’s rural territories.
