sustainable mobility and tourism
regenerative tourism professional community
simtur accompanies the evolution and regeneration of places and people
The mobility of people, goods, information and data has always been the most extraordinary evolutionary factor: from nomadism to the birth of the first villages, up to the concept of the city, from medieval pilgrimages to supersonic planes, societies have evolved by travelling, discovering, meeting, expanding knowledge in comparison with other cultures and other civilisations.
In the era of complexity and climate change, mobility and tourism are at the center of the greatest redesign in human history: the future demands prosperity, equity and regenerative processes.
To design it, you need skills, ethics and reliability.
simtur is a network of members - enthusiasts and professionals - present in every region of Italy, with international partners, to offer applied research activities, advanced training and projects to communities, territories and destinations.
regenerative tourism professionals
competent, ethical and reliable
simtur promotes a regenerative tourism which, through systemic thinking, the techniques of nudging and the approach of the economy of visitors, places the community dimension at the centre, qualifying the associated professionals as agents of change equipped with cross-disciplinary skills and a solid ethical and bioethical responsibility.
As a professional ecosystem, it is committed to generating social innovation, shared prosperity, circularity of territorial systems and equity, to create tourism development models capable of regenerating environmental and cultural heritage, always with a view to integral human development.
In a context marked by the double ecological and digital transition, simtur presents itself as a national and international point of reference to accompany territories, communities and destinations in facing the challenges of present complexity and the construction of a future where tourism is not only an economic engine but a strategic lever of multidimensional regeneration.
The systemic approach adopted by simtur recognizes that only an integrated vision, in which environment, society and culture interact harmoniously, can guarantee long-term results. nudging techniques represent innovative tools to guide virtuous behaviors and build participatory narratives, while the visitor economy transforms the tourist dimension into an opportunity to enhance local networks and community experiences as "constellations of value".
The professional qualification, central to the simtur identity, ensures competent, ethical and reliable guidance for projects and initiatives in which co-creation with host communities is essential to regenerate the identity and values of the territories, increasing prosperity and social cohesion.
simtur is also committed to promoting circularity, understood as a model of regenerative economy based on the reduction of waste, on the valorisation of local resources and widespread well-being, which guarantees equal opportunities and inclusion. For everyone.
Thus, simtur designs and supports a vision consistent with European policies and international best practices.
