This means most holidaymakers will have to limit their flights. In this scenario, <strong>Italy offers the maximum variety of landscape and architecture within the shortest distance<\/strong>. When visiting Italy, you can span the equivalent of a continent in just a few hours, going from seaside villages to snowy peaks, from majestic archaeological sites to the wild nightlife of a modern city, from deserts to waterfalls. Italy is also coming out of this crisis having learned a few lessons on sustainable tourism.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7018\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.smarteventi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/tourism-in-italy-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"mks_button mks_button_large squared\" href=\"https:\/\/en.smarteventi.it\/contact_us.html\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #dd9933\" >Call us today to plan a virtual showcase for your brand!<\/a>\n<h3>Cultural sites reopen with new safety measures<\/h3>\n<p>The archaeological sites of Paestum and Velia were among the first places to welcome visitors after the lockdown. All the necessary precautions have been taken to ensure the protection of visitors, and the reorganisation that preceded the reopening focused strongly on inclusion and accessibility. A limited number of visitors are allowed in at any one time, everyone has their temperature taken at the entrance, and <strong>the use of masks and hand-sanitising gel is mandatory<\/strong>. Gel dispensers are positioned along the route and made available to all tourists to ensure hand hygiene. Visits can only be conducted following fixed routes, designed to prevent clusters of people from forming. Sound alerts will signal any violation of social distancing to both visitors and staff. Tickets and subscriptions can be purchased online, booking time slots for each visit.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7020\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.smarteventi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/tourism-in-italy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Sustainable &#038; Safe: tourism in Tuscany starts again<\/h3>\n<p>Visits have also resumed in the Park of the Tuscan Archipelago, whose most famous island is Montecristo. Parks and protected areas were accessible at the end of May since outdoor activities are deemed safer and easier to manage while keeping up social distancing. The <strong>National Park of the Tuscan Archipelago<\/strong> was one of the first to reopen and it is now offering a new model of sustainable tourism, hoping to promote awareness and eco-friendly lifestyles. Visitors will have access to a vast network of routes across the islands, going from beaches to mountains, from hills to villages, as well as snorkeling and scuba diving excursions to admire the unique biodiversity of this archipelago.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7017\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.smarteventi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/tourism-in-italy-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Once in a lifetime chance<\/h3>\n<p>This is the one chance we will get, during our lifetime, of reimagining a whole industry from scratch.
