🌍 Cittaslow for Inclusive Tourism: Focus on Alzheimer’s Care

The Macerata Public Meeting Luca Della Bitta, Coordinator of Cittaslow Italy and Mayor of Chiavenna, alongside Secretary General Pier Giorgio Oliveti, will participate as keynote speakers at a significant public meeting in Macerata, Italy. The event is organized by AFAM in collaboration with the University of Macerata.

Developing Tailored Tourism Offers The core focus of the meeting is the development of specific tourism initiatives designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s and their families. This project aims to bridge the gap between healthcare needs and the right to leisure, ensuring that travel remains a viable and enriching experience for everyone.

Cittaslow as an Ideal Environment The Cittaslow network is uniquely positioned to lead this movement. Our territories, characterized by a high quality of life, reduced environmental stress, and a focus on human-centric urban planning, provide the perfect setting for inclusive tourism. The "Slow" pace is not just a lifestyle choice but a fundamental requirement for creating a welcoming and accessible environment for those with specific cognitive needs.

A Commitment to Social Sustainability By supporting these initiatives, Cittaslow reinforces its mission to foster communities that prioritize empathy and accessibility. We believe that true hospitality means ensuring that no one is excluded from the beauty and culture of our towns. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in making inclusive tourism a cornerstone of the Cittaslow philosophy.
