Tailor-made sustainability courses by the Italian Association for Responsible Tourism
The Italian Association for Responsible Tourism (AITR, from the Italian, Associazione Italiana Turismo Responsabile), one of the members of the European Alliance for Responsible Tourism and Hospitality (EARTH), aims to raise awareness of the values of sustainable and responsible tourism through strategic training activities provided by the AITR School.
The AITR School also aims to meet the specific needs of members and non-members through tailor-made training modules that have been developed upon the request of boards, groups of operators, schools and universities. Each year, the school arranges a three-day training course that aims to promote knowledge transfer and uphold the standardization of criteria among members of AITR and new subjects interested in this topic. In October 2018, the AITR responsible tourism training course was held in Bologna, Italy, with participation of 13 participants.
Some of these courses include: training courses for educators tested in Milan; endorsement courses such as Methods and Strategies for Local Welcoming in small villages of nine Italian regions; and an experiential workshop on communication addressed to tour operators.
Participants enrolled in AITR’s courses become part of a community that shares a common vision on responsible tourism, creating relationships that endure long beyond the end of a training course.
