ABRUZZO – Italy is a country rich in natural and cultural beauty, and Abruzzo is an extraordinary example of this. With its breathtaking landscapes, an uncontaminated environment, unique flora and fauna, Abruzzo represents one of the hidden gems of our territory. From the majestic Gran Sasso mountains to the picturesque medieval villages, from the spectacular coasts to the protected nature reserves, every corner of Abruzzo offers a fascinating discovery for tourists in search of authenticity and natural beauty.
In this context, “Abruzzo Welcome” was born, a unique initiative that offers free experiences to tourists staying in Abruzzo during the low season. This project, carried out by the Local Action Groups (GAL) “Abruzzo Italico Alto Sangro”, “Terre Pescaresi” and “Terre d’Abruzzo”, aims to enhance local resources, extend periods of tourist presence, distribute visitor flows with the aim of promoting sustainable tourism and enhancing environmental resources.
The initiative therefore aims to decongest the high season periods: from 1 July to 30 September 2024, with the exception of August, it will be possible to request vouchers to enjoy free activities until availability runs out.
“Abruzzo Welcome” allows visitors to live unique experiences within the territories of the LAGs involved. All those who stay at least one night in Abruzzo in the periods indicated will be able to enjoy eco-sustainable outdoor activities, walks, excursions, trekking, theme parks, bike, horse, canoe tours, as well as experiences linked to local traditions, agri-food production and typical craftsmanship.
The initiative is part of the Local Development Strategy (SSL) of the LAGs, co-financed by the European Community, the State and the Abruzzo Region. The objective is to integrate local production chains into the tourist offer, making them more attractive and responsive to tourists’ needs, also improving the quality of the holiday and reducing the environmental impact.
Thanks to ‘Abruzzo Welcome’, tourists will be able to discover an authentic and uncontaminated Abruzzo, while supporting the local economy. The activities and experiences proposed will allow visitors to immerse themselves in the nature and traditions of the area.
The initiative is part of the Inter-territorial Cooperation Project “Abruzzo Nature Collection”, which aims to enhance and promote local resources and productions under the theme “Nature and Sustainability”. “Abruzzo Welcome” represents an extraordinary opportunity to discover the natural and environmental beauty of Abruzzo, offering a unique and sustainable holiday experience.
