Cittàslow

Abstract

This chapter focuses on Cittàslow association, in order to better understand the importance of tourism as a motivation for joining as well as the eventual impact on this sector. After examining recent trends of global tourism and their effects on local development and hospitality policies, the chapter focuses on Cittàslow in Italy and a preliminary investigation of certified cities in the region of Emilia-Romagna. Finally, it examines the specific case of Santarcangelo di Romagna and the effects of Cittàslow membership on local tourism, suggesting the relationship seems to be weak even if tourism has increased in recent years.
