SUMMARY:Smart and Sustainable Tourism: Impacts\, Approaches\, Solutions
DESCRIPTION:The importance of tourism stems from its sheer scale: international tourism alone moves 1.5 billion people annually\, generating over 2 trillion dollars and contributing to the employment of one in ten workers globally.  \nOther factors also contribute to its importance\, alongside these large numbers and growth. The cross-cutting nature of the economic\, environmental\, and socio-cultural impacts in places visited by tourists leads to infrastructure development\, enhancement\, cultural production and exchange\, the multifunctionality of businesses\, and the creation of new market outlets for local products. \nIn this perspective\, Biennale della Sostenibilità 2025 “Urbs et Civitas” will host the international conference “Smart and Sustainable Tourism. Impacts\, Approaches\, Solutions”\, an initiative organised by VSF in collaboration with the North Adriatic Sea Port Authority – Ports of Venice and Chioggia as part of the ADRIJOROUTES Project funded by the European Interreg Italy-Croatia programme. The meeting will provide an opportunity to hear about the current state of tourism and its future prospects\, as well as a discussion on innovative approaches and solutions for smart and sustainable tourism\, with a focus on global urban areas. With this in mind\, the urbs expands and contracts according to the presence of the civitas\, which is composed not only of residents but also of workers\, students\, and visitors themselves. \nCities are privileged centres of innovation\, connectivity\, skills\, and density\, as well as destinations for tourist flows concentrated in time and space. They therefore act as laboratories for tourism innovation\, integrating sustainability\, inclusion\, technology\, and participation. Cities such as Venice\, the heart of VSF’s activities\, act as catalysts for processes that facilitate technical\, economic\, and social development towards smart and sustainable tourist destinations. \nThe conference will consist of three sessions:  \n\nSession I: Impacts. Looking at the world through the lens of tourism. \nSession II: Approaches. Cities as laboratories for smart\, innovative\, and sustainable tourism.\nSession III: Solutions. VSF members for smart and sustainable tourism.\n\nThe detailed programme is available at the following link: PROGRAMME \nCONFERENCE MATERIALS\n\nSpeakers’ biographies \nStefano Sisto – Region of Veneto\, Director of the Tourist Planning Organizational Unit\, presentation (ITA)\nDamiano De Marchi (moderator Session I) – VSF\, Project Manager | Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia\, Professor\, presentation (ITA)\nElena Nembrini – ENIT\, Director General | VSF\, Statutory Auditor of the Board of Auditors\, presentation (ITA)\nIoannis Pappas – GSTC\, Regional Director for Europe | European Climate Pact Ambassador | URBACT Lead Expert | European Urban Initiative\, Expert Innovative Actions\, presentation (ENG)\nGuido Licciardi – World Bank\, Senior Operations Officer\n\n \n \n\nCostanza Alesse – NECSTouR\, Project Manager\, presentation (ITA)  \nDamiano De Marchi (moderator Session II) – VSF\, Project Manager | Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia\, Professor\, presentation (ITA)\nDomenico Carretta – City of Turin\, Deputy Mayor for Tourism\, video (ITA)\nKyriaki Boulasidou – Ente Nazionale Ellenico Per il Turismo\, Director\, video (ITA)\nJohannes Lutter – UIV – Urban Innovation Vienna\, Head of International Affairs & Strategic Partnerships\, presentation (ENG)\nJosep Xurigué Camprubí – Barcelona Comerç\, Deputy Director\, presentation (ENG)\nLeonardo Ricci – City of Florence\, Director of Technological Infrastructure Development\, presentation (ITA)\nEmanuele Geri – City of Florence\, Technical IT Manager\, Open Data\, SIT\, presentation (ITA) \nDamiano De Marchi (introduction Session III) – VSF\, Project Manager | Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia\, Professor\, presentation (ITA)\nPaolo Clini (moderator Session III) – Università Politecnica delle Marche\, Director of DhekalosLab IA e Digital Heritage\, presentation (ITA) \nMaria Sol Scanferla – North Adriatic Sea Port Authority\, Promotion\, Communication and Institutional Relations Unit\, Strategic Planning and Development Department\, presentation (ITA)\nAndrea Casadei – Almaviva\, Tourism Practice Manager – SME Culture\, Tourism and Sport\, presentation (ITA)\nSilvia Oliva – VSF\, Coordinator of Project Activities\, presentation (ITA)
