New stage of the Vitour project in Cinque Terre (Italy)

The four-day meeting will be devoted to finalising the Vitour tourist itineraries and the joint Internet portal, which will be used to promote and provide information on the network in the future. The Steering Committee will also validate the results of various activities, in particular the initial conclusions of the expert report on international demand for wine tourism.

In addition to the working sessions for the technical representatives for each partner site, an international workshop, entitled "Cultural heritage, the environment and sustainable tourism" will be held in the presence of delegations representing the UNESCO partners of the Cinqueterre park, the Val d’Orcia regional park in Tuscany and Vega Island in Norway.

The Val de Loire delegation will be led by Sophie Saramito, Vice-President of the Val de Loire Mission and a member of the Pays de la Loire regional council.

The Vitour project

The partners are working together on conserving and promoting their specific cultural features: a Vitour landscape strategy is currently being developed, designed to combine the conservation of the landscape identity of the vineyards with maintaining their economic vitality, innovative wine tourism itineraries that are more sensitive to ecological constraints as well as an international communications strategy.
