In recent years, tourism demand has been undergoing profound change. There is growing interest in slow travel, lesser-known destinations, direct contact with local communities, and concrete, measurable forms of sustainability. Today’s travelers seek authenticity, cultural value, biodiversity, and experiences that make them feel part of a place rather than mere spectators. In this context, the Slow Food Travel model represents a concrete and innovative response: an approach to tourism that places living landscapes, identity-driven agricultural production, local knowledge, and human relationships at its core. The talk explores new tourism demand trends, emerging flows in the wine & food sector, and presents Italian case studies where Slow Food Travel has created new development opportunities, fostering more conscious, widespread, and regenerative tourism for local communities.
