Descrizione
The laboratory has the objective to share experiences, best practices among territories, disseminate knowledge among European destinations, develop and share data collected through surveys disseminated to enterprises, public entities and administrations, institutions and associations. This process is accompanied by the development of an IT cloud to be used by destinations with the aim of planning, managing and monitoring sustainable tourism using both ETIS (European Tourism Indicator System) methodology as an operational management instrument and the model of the international organization GSTC (Global Sustainable Tourism Council) for the destination training.
Prof. Modica, with a vast experience in the field of sustainable tourism, has overseen the Destination Management Organization (DMO) "Visit South Sardinia" assessment process for sustainability. The European Commission has recognized "Visit South Sardinia" as the first sustainable destination among two hundred territories which had implemented ETIS indicators during the pilot phases 2013-2015 (ETIS AWARDS, "Visit South Sardinia e UNICA ritirano il premio" http://www.unica.it/pub/7/show.jsp?id=32948&iso=22&is=7).
