L’importanza dello sviluppo del turismo è spesso stata erroneamente sottovalutata nelle discussioni sulla ripresa economica. Il libro intende esplorare la complessità e le potenzialità del sistema turistico italiano al fine di determinare i modi in cui i governi, le aziende e la società civile possono trarre beneficio dal turismo e evitare i suoi effetti negativi. Il lavoro analizza la letteratura internazionale sui modelli teorici della competitività delle destinazioni, il patrimonio italiano, le caratteristiche delle aziende turistiche, i tipi di visitatori, il ruolo del governo nazionale, l’architettura legislativa e le pressioni ambientali. Dopo aver discusso le principali debolezze del sistema, il libro suggerisce alcune direzioni che il sistema italiano dovrebbe assumere, soprattutto in termini di sviluppo sostenibile e turismo culturale. La ricerca sottolinea l’esigenza di affrontare nuove sfide politiche, tecnologiche ed educative per migliorare la competitività del sistema turistico italiano.
