The Campania Regional Council unanimously approved the proposal law on the regulation of oil tourismpromoted as the first signatory by the regional councilor Tommaso Pellegrinogroup leader of Italia Viva.
«The law, which has as its main objective the valorisation of oil tourism and the promotion of olive growing culture in the Campania region, represents an important step forward for the sector. Oil tourism is in fact a growing cultural and economic phenomenon, capable of offering numerous development and employment opportunities». Councilor Pellegrino declared this with satisfaction at the end of the Council meeting.
«The olive tree, a characterizing element of the rural landscape of Campania – continued Pellegrino – It thus becomes the protagonist of a constantly growing experiential tourism not only in Italy, but throughout Europe. Extra virgin olive oil from Campania, an agri-food excellence known throughout the world and symbol of the Mediterranean diet, becomes the hub of unique and engaging experiences for visitors. The approved law not only promotes oil tourism, but also provides training initiatives for the production chain, thus contributing to consolidating and improving the quality of the product. The olive groves and oil mills of Campania become suggestive and attractive places for tourists, who will have the opportunity to participate in demonstration olive harvests and tasting activities. I believe it is particularly important to enhance and promote the olive growing heritage of Campania, not only from an economic point of view, but also from a cultural and tourist point of view. I thank the councilors for Tourism and Agriculture, Felice Casucci And Nicola Caputo for the important contribution and fellow regional councilors for the unanimous approval of the bill», concluded Tommaso Pellegrino.
