The Valourisation And Participatory Management Of Water Landscapes: The project ‘Tourist itineraries to discover the waters of Italy’ (Rieti, Lazio Region, Italy)

The project ‘Tourist itineraries to discover the waters of Italy.’ designed and promoted by the Interuniversity Research Group Association GECOAGRI-LANDITALY, brings together scholars from diverse disciplinary backgrounds based on the belief that the water resource must be interpreted in its various components, functions, and potential. The project is characterised by three core features: immersion, inclusion and implementation of content. The continuous collaboration among scholars, local institutions and stakeholders has led to the development of an innovative research methodology and tools for enhancing the tourism experience. The result not only provides tourists with access to fascinating yet lesser-known sites but also empowers local operators to rediscover, enhance, and promote their territory and economic activities.
