Exploring Tourism Ecosystem in planning practice

Despite efforts by various entities and governments to promote sustainable tourism, it emerges a fragmented framework for developing such strategies in an effective and sustainable territorial development scenario. This gap impedes effective information exchange, comparison of approaches, and sharing of insights within the tourism industry. Emphasizing sustainability as a focal point, the proposed approach stands as a crucial tool for supporting territorial planning development. The theoretical and analytical framework to identify specialized tourism ecosystem, part of the research project pilot project conducted by Gatto and Scorza is implemented in the selected case study offering a thorough comprehension of the spatial analysis involved in delineating and overseeing tourist systems at the territorial level.
