What is Active Tourism? Discover how to experience unforgettable holidays
Active tourism is an innovative and stimulating way of travelling where the active experience and interaction with nature and local culture are at the focus of the holiday. Through this kind of tourism, it is therefore possible to promote sustainable development, respect the environment and enhance the territory.
While sustainable tourism focuses on reducing environmental impact and promoting responsible tourism, active tourism encourages an active and participatory immersion in the environment and invites travellers to go beyond the boundaries of the traditional tourist experience through cultural and outdoor activities.
The active tourist therefore aspires to his or her own psychophysical well-being by dynamically combining sporting activities with the nature and culture of the holiday destination.
Despite its growing popularity, however, active tourism is often shrouded in false myths that may discourage some travellers. People often think that it is only for sporty or adventure seekers, that it is expensive or dangerous and limited only to specific, perhaps exotic, destinations. On the contrary, active tourism is very varied and adapts to every level of fitness and interest. Often these activities are even free, and can be practised anywhere, including the Venetian lagoon!
What active tourism means to us
