Goals of the new FAITA Tuscany board of directors
The goals of newly elected President Galassi and the board are clear: the work of the three-year term will focus on improving and boosting land protection, the enhancement of suburban areas, constant dialogue with local and regional institutions, and the promotion of concrete actions for environmental sustainability .
Open-air facilities exert a strategic role in the tourism sector and the regional economy, an evolving industry that is increasingly leading the way. At the meeting, Galassi said, ” We want our investments to make the area not only more welcoming, but also more resilient. We will work on specific projects for energy conservation, resource management, and circular economy “.
Continued: “Outdoor tourism is no longer a niche, but a strategic component for the local economy. Covid marked a turning point: people are looking for nature, sustainability and quality. Our facilities are growing in services and investment, with an increasing focus on accessibility and environmental friendliness “.
He further emphasizes, “In many coastal municipalities, accommodation facilities are the beating heart of the summer economy. In Bibbona, for example, a municipality with 3,000 residents in high season we get to record more than 70,000 daily presences. A contribution to the local economy that must be recognized and properly supported by appropriate policies and infrastructure “.
The newly appointed president also announced that the 2024 data of the industry, collected in collaboration with the Center for Tourism Studies in Florence, will be presented in the coming days: “In Tuscany we estimate that we have exceeded 10 million presences in open-air facilities. These are numbers that give us strength to clearly assert our value in the territories “.
The election of the new president was also commented on by FAITA Tuscany DirectorEnrico Paoli: “The choice of Claudio was shared and convinced. With him, we will continue a work already begun that has led FAITA Tuscany to grow significantly in terms of both content and membership. The sector is changing rapidly and we need solid leadership, capable of innovation and dialogue with partners and institutions “.
