PAST4Future, success for the Educational Tour in Puglia
Overview

The Educational Tour in Puglia, organized by DMO of Gravina in Puglia from 8 to 12 December 2020 in collaboration with the Tour Operator “Ada Tour”, involved 20 participants including Tour Operators, Agencies, journalists, bloggers and tourist reporters who had the opportunity to discover the Apulian territory, made up of unique typicalities and places. 

The Tour was aimed at promoting to the public and to new possible users both the structures that meet the requirements for the different needs, and the various points of interest that are accessible and sustainable. It started from Gravina in Puglia and Alta Murgia, where the P.A.S.T4Future Project also included structural works to adapt the Capotenda naturalistic site, and touched all the most significant and iconic areas of Puglia: Lecce and the Salento area, the Itria Valley, the Umbra Forest partly covering Gargano peninsula, and ended in the city of Bari. 

In addition to visiting the wonderful places both from a historical and artistic point of view, there were also moments of experiential tourism, with the workshop of handmade ceramics in Gravina in Puglia, of papier-mâché in Lecce, a visit to a historic Farm House in Ostuni to discover the production cycle of extra virgin olive oil and a street food tasting with typical focaccia in Bari. 

The Educational tour, carried out in compliance with the Covid19 containment measures in force, represented also an important moment of reflection and planning on the tourism of tomorrow.
