Abstract (in English)
“Life Beyond Tourism” is a project for a new style of tourism. Currently being tested in Florence, it can be experienced, measured, criticized and improved on. It's a flower whose petals are the “encounters”, “communication”, “knowledge”, “conservation” and “economy” (Figure 1). It's a new vision of tourism, not consumer-driven and not standardized but strategically designed: - to safeguard “spirit of place”; - to communicate “spirit of place”; - to encourage visitors of all cultural levels to truly familiarize with their destination; - to promote acquaintance and friendship among tourists from different countries; - to foster a sense of respect in a non-standardized context. In “Life Beyond Tourism”: - people working in the tourist business give their work added value by not only providing a service but also by being aware that they are working to promote peace; - tourists become potential heralds of peace; - sites reaffirm their identity as “laboratories” for familiarization with, and for the enhancement and communication of “spirit of place”.
