tourism deeply marks the identity and essence of the veneto at the beginning of the new millennium. Its patrimony of natural resources, environmental qualities, beautiful landscapes, historical character, popular traditions, experienced craftsmanship, artistic excellences, cultural atmospheres, typical food productions, creativity in events and shows together with a welcoming atmosphere attracts an ever growing number of visitors from both traditional areas and new. In the current difficult climate, the number of annual visitors is more than 60 million. the perceived quality of life together with the strong values that this part of the Italian north-east evoke attract visitors of all ages, social class, cultural tradition and origin.

pulled by the weight of the demand, the offer of services for tourism is ever-growing to meet this demand whilst renewing its processes and re-qualifying itself. With changes in the market, new careers become available and existing solid economic activities are re-interpreted and adjusted to cater for the impulse of tourism.

the contribution of tourism, in its most complete meaning, offers a very important contribution both in terms of income and occupation to such an extent that it is irreplaceable. the variety of people involved, the rapidly changing international background and the more attentive ways of many visitors mean a more attentive study of the whole system that is offered. It is with this regard that veneto region and Unioncamere are encouraging actions and projects that can shed more light on the contribution that closer collaboration in this sector can give.

In the pilot project of the research that produced this guidebook, the priority field of action specified was the one of responsible tourism, that is carried out following the principles of social and economic justice and fully respecting the environment and traditional culture.. the viewpoint is the one of the importance of the local community and its right to decide in matters on eco-friendly and socially responsible tourism in its territory.

It’s by now clear to all operators in this field that there is more than one definition of responsible tourism. It is therefore unreasonable to use these various definitions such as: “informed tourism”, “cultural tourism”, “community tourism”, “eco-tourism”, “responsible tourism”, “ethical tourism” etc as and when the need arises or opportunity sees fit.

rather than concentrating on the definition, this guide seeks to offer a tangible vision of the new scenarios regarding tourism in the veneto and hopefully start a virtuous circle of knowledge and action involving new business realities with innovative ideas and shared experiences, helping them to become established and to flourish.

the rich collaboration between the worlds of the cooperative system and the hospitality sector finds the keystone in the importance of the individual. the cooperative is a venture in which the human element triumphs over the financial one and the financial gain doesn’t represent the last and primary goal, but an efficiency necessity. the tourist activities, after all, are pressured in a more marked way by the request to offer a relevant human part in strict connection to the element of environmental and structural offer.

In tune with the policies managed from the Assessorato to tourism in charge, the contribution of the department for the Economy and Development, takes the following path:

a) study of the current tendencies in the venetian economy and society to evaluate and appreciate the qualitative and quantitative contribution of cooperatives and social ventures to the various aspects of the tourist economy;

b) definition of supporting policies for virtuous business dynamics;

c) incentive to business excellence by rewarding mechanisms, communication actions, activation of transferring processes in strict synergy with universities and research centres;

d) promotion of innovation in its various forms, elevation of competitiveness, diffusion of opportunities connected to national and international chains and to community organisation;

e) strengthening of collaboration policies and integration in geographic, thematic and functional networks, experimentation of districts for a responsible tourist economy.

these series of actions is framed in general policies for cooperation and the social business, constantly examined by the regional Council.

the first edition of the responsible tourism in veneto Guidebook is the result, experimental and temporary, of a task to know and divulge the rich potential of a reality in constant increase and at the same time the signal of a definite will of the veneto region to select and match with the processes useful to a re-launch of a harmonious economic and social growth. In this order we hope that this proposal will be received and discussed and can be a catalyst to new ventures shared with all the companies in the territory.

III

tourism represents one of the main economical activities in the veneto, which is making an effort on the implementation of innovative policies and procedures in order to promote tourism and improve the territory’s competitiveness. the veneto, with more than 60 million bed-nights pey year, is confirmed as the first destination in Italy for tourists.

One of the most important challenges concerns accessibility. people with motor, sensorial, cognitive or food disabilities are tourists that should receive the best of welcomes.this is why it is essential – first of all – to improve information regarding the services offered, enabling tourists to make the best possible choice.

By the regional law 11. Art. 43, the veneto region adheres to the values sanctioned in the OnU Convention about the rights of disabled people that, at Art.30 comma 1, quotes: “the states member recognize the right of disabled people to take part, on an equal basis and with other people, to cultural life and they choose all measures in order to guarantee that disabled people; (b) have access to tv programs, film, theatrical performances and other cultural activities, in accessible format; (c) have access to places of cultural activity, such as theatres, museums, cinemas, libraries and touristic services, and, as much as possible, the access to monuments and important sites for national culture”.

thanks to the excellence project “developing an accessible and social tourism” adopted in 2010, we can represent the objective reality of accessibility, to improve services and their use by our tourists: this was the base to start a direct collaboration with the ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities, with some organizations of the European Union (parliament and Commission), with the World tourism Organization of the United nations and, finally, with new York’s mayor’s Office for Disadvantaged people.

Iv

these international relationships allow us to develop a system of high quality and accessible destinations to support our tourists.

these ventures are opening the venetian territory to a market of about 140 million disabled people just in Europe: a great potential for our enterprises, considering that every one of these tourists is accompaniedtravels, producing an important multiplying effect.

this important strategy is giving to the word “accessibility” the important significance of an opportunity: of work and income for enterprises, of jobs for new architects and designers, who must design user-friendly and usable spaces for everyone (refuting the common belief that an accessible structure has to appear like a hospital), of jobs for tour operators, that can see an increase in the number of visitors , because the proposal is dedicated to the tourist himself, not simply to disabled people.

v

tourism can be defined as that collection of multi-purpose activities and services concerned with the temporary and usually cyclical transfer of individuals from their normal place of residence to anywhere else for the purposes of entertainment, rest and relaxation, culture, well-being and sport. It is expressed by the organisation of free-time and refers primarily to those societies that are regarded as economically advanced.

International flows in tourism are currently maintaining continuous and solid growth, according to statistics from UnWtO - the United nations World tourism Organisation. All the world macro areas show positive variations in the number of visitors, particularly in the Americas, Asia and the pacific, followed by the middle-East and Europe and then Africa. Europe is confirmed as the most visited continent in the world, especially northern Europe and the mediterranean. Italy is in 5th. place for the number of foreign visitors and in 6th. place for the income generated, thus considerably increasing the amount that foreign visitors spend in Italy.

the veneto is in first place in Italy and 4th. in Europe for the number of visitors (over 15 million) and the number of bed-nights (61 million). the target is to reach 20 million visitors by 2020. tourism, especially foreign, is now a consolidated and precious resource for our region, particularly in this period of economic uncertainty and fierce competition, mainly from abroad. the decline of tourism by Italians within Italy, caused by the erosion of spending power due to the economic crisis, accompanied by a strong foreign demand are the distinctive phenomena of recent trends in tourism, both in the veneto and other regions of the peninsula. the strong level of international accessibility of our region has, however, enabled us to benefit from the expanding momentum of world tourism and to improve performance, both in terms of numbers of visitors and numbers of bed-nights. the positive trend has continued from the beginning of the century and has only been interrupted by the events of 9/11 and the international financial crisis of 2008.

In the current negative economic situation, Italian companies have looked for innovative solutions, often looking to their pricing policies and promotional activities both via traditional channels and via the internet. the result has often been the regaining and maintenance of positions held in foreign markets.

Amongst these are principally those companies operating in the cities of art, where the numbers of foreign visitors remain high, owing to the attractive “assets” offered and where, though being smaller scale, the market (especially foreign) is not yet saturated. this is thanks to the historical, geographical and cultural resources on a national level which unite the uniqueness and excellence of the offer, favouring an equilibrium between quality and cost, of which the consumer is very conscious. An important role is also played by the higher visibility on the web, providing a competitive edge with regard to the competition from abroad.

the Institution of the Chambers of Commerce provides an important ability in the improvement of the local dimension of tourism within the global picture. It is both a point of reference and an impulse for local companies, giving them possibilities for improvement and growth in a supply-chain that is qualified, growing and highly diversified. It is a provider of business models for the promotion of tourist destinations and the companies involved.

vII

veneto region and Unioncamere veneto, in implementation of the l.r. February 3, 1998 n. 3, art. 8, have created over time, through framework agreements yearly, a genuine policy for the information to pmI, dedicating a particular organizational and financial effort to the development of small and medium enterprises in veneto as cooperative.

Hand in hand with the updating of strategies and tools of business management and with an ever deeper knowledge of constraints and opportunities posed by the country and abroad, they have progressively accepted a number of issues related to innovation and process product, the incubation of new businesses (especially youth and women), the impact of ICt on small and micro-enterprises, social responsibility, environmental sustainability, the evolution in the relationship with financial and credit world , the potential of workers buyouts in ensuring business continuity and employment levels and the hybridization between the logic of profit and no-profit organizations.

participation in several European projects on pmI and on social enterprise has provided more fuel to the effort - shared with other players in the area - in order to achieve a more appropriate analysis of the dynamics at work in economy and society, and so have a effective directory of knowledge and practices.

the pilot project on responsible tourism is therefore not an isolated episode, but is part of a range of actions and initiatives to reaffirm the role of the public as a promoter and guarantor of responsible economy, in view of centrality of the person and the community and the right to be leaders in sustainable development and socially responsible for its own territory.

the exercise, that this first guide documents, constitutes a test for desirable future applications to other specific areas.

the project /

vIII

to a recognition of cooperatives and social ventures active in various spheres of the tourism economy, followed at first the distribution of a questionnaire and a series of customized contacts, which allowed to rough out a detailed profile for every entity.

the approximately fifty companies identified is not the full total of social venetian cooperatives and companies active in the tourist field; yet it represents a symbolic section, in geographical distribution and in the variety of services offered. An interesting element is the penchant to business integration “intra” and “extra” between different competences and functions.

Even if from the huge amount of information collected, only the essential for the contact with public have been selected to present them in a lively and captivating typographical form, cognition and connection patrimony matured will be the precious foundation for further processing in order to implement a strong collaboration with ventures and organisations involved.

the positive cooperation among different regional structures verified in this occasion lets one see with hope the advancements of this operation, necessarily in progress, assuring people who want to join the first group of participant ventures and will find an organic and active representative, more careful to the project goals and to the use of the actions than to the strict procedural subdivision of proficiencies.

Identity //

the Cultural Association Khorakhanè was founded in 2004 in Abano terme, by a group of young men, to create cultural events and social gatherings.Over the years the association has grown remarkably not only in the number of participants – nowadays they are about 50 young people aged between 20 and 30 years old - but also in social and cultural impact in the veneto region, thanks to the creation of regional events, projects and collaboration with many third party organizations at local, regional and national level.

In 2015 it created the “I’m” cultural workshop that offers cultural and artistic services to different subjects of the community (youths, disadvantaged, public agencies, private entities and non-profit organisations, families etc.), combining both the needs of the market and the principles of equity, environmental sustainability and equal opportunities.

It consists of three areas: co-working (space conception and design), area events (dedicated to creation of art, music, cultural studies, aggregation and social integration) and workshop (building structures, furniture and staging). “I’m” is just one action of the project “new Energies” Khorakhanè Association, made in partnership with the Cooperative new Ideas, sponsored by the City of Abano terme and the veneto region.

the association is non-partisan, non-denominational and no-profit.

Activities //

Arts and culture It manages the visitors Centers in Delta del po regional park, including the cultural tourist center “san Basilio”, located on the ancient via popilia and on the ancient coastline, that is an important archaeological site of paleoveneti, Greek and Etruscan settlements, up to and including the roman period.

the museo della Bonifica Ca’ vendramin is an important key to understanding the po Delta, an area below sea level that needs daily human intervention for the control and regulation of the water.

visitor Centres or other sites in the park are important notes of historical and cultural heritage, such as the museum of the Court of Ca’ Cappello and the Honey museum of Ca’ Cappellino or areas of great natural value, such as the Coastal Botanical Gardens of veneto porto Caleri. Other areas can be defined as real “outdoor museums”, such as the po river-beds, fossilized dunes providing testimony of ancient coastlines, floodplains and fishing valleys that tell of ancient crafts, representing small ethnographic museums.the network of these sites is the great “museo Diffuso” of the park of the po Delta.


provides tourist, cultural, educational and training services, mainly related to the specific characteristics of the territory of the river po and, in particular, of the po Delta.

the technical and operational capacity of the cooperative is completed by coordinated services of tourist accommodation, catering and transport, provided by Deltapoolservice, a consortium of 40 companies operating in the field of tourism, in which Co.se.Del.po is a founding member.

It designs and implements tourism and educational proposals, aimed at both school and adult groups for different purposes, about tourist-cultural itineraries (naturalistic, historical, archaeological or themed).It provides training courses and lectures in environmental and cultural materials, themed workshops and classroom activities.

35

It runs through the visitor Centers in the Delta del po regional park, educational tours and itineraries with educational institutions and journalists.It designs and produces, in collaboration with public and private partners, initiatives and touristic events (cultural and gastronomic) to promote the territory of the po Delta and the po territory in general.

It guarantees organizational, operational and logistical support to authorities and companies in the organization and participation in touristic and food and wine trade fairs.

Identity //

the company, established in 2002, consists of nine members qualified as nature guides under current regulations and it also uses other professionals for specific tasks.

the ten years of experience and the pursuit of ever new ideas in its line of business make it possible to put to use and coordinate diverse skills and experiences: guides, naturalists, biologists, ornithologists and botanists, “interpreters” of an area that you can not only “explain”, but must first be “told” and then “shared” in the experience of emotions.

this approach, aimed at enhancing a responsible use of the great natural heritage of the park of the po Delta, is present in all the tourist activities of Co.se.Del.po, from educational visits, nature trips, to the organization of themed or personalised tours.

the inclusion of disadvantaged people in the productive and economic activity in tourism is carried out through other cooperative societies associated with the Consortium Deltapoolservice.

It’s included in the promotional circuit veneto regional park of the po Delta.

the principal event is the strawberry Festival, that takes place every year at the end of April, and during this celebration various concerts, stage shows, poetry contests and art exhibitions take place. During the year, the solidarity Association Don p. Chiavacci organizes meetings with people who are well-respected for the ethical and human value of their actions.

Identity //

the cooperative was born in 1945 in the area of the ancient “pagus Arusnatium“. In v century a.C. the place was occupied from “Arusnati”, an ancient population dedicated to agriculture. since then they have produced a wine that roman poets, such as Columella, virgilio or plinio the Old, called “retino-wine”.

san pietro in Cariano is full of roman vestiges, as the funeral stele of Arria Aquileia, the Corrubbio’s chimaera, that furnished proof of the contact among the Arusnate civilization and the Etruscan tradition; and also some graves rich of funeral supplies, now in Wien. the important residential area during the venetian domination, was the location of the valpolicella’s curacy.

the vicar was a noble from verona delegated to rule the administration and the justice; the emblems of vicars who succeeded during the time are – even now- on the facade of the old city Hall. History has bestowed a rich legacy of artistic assets, of churches and wonderful villas (as santa sofia, designed by palladio for marcantonio serego), all in beautiful places, surrounded by a panorama of vineyard, cypresses and cherry-trees, called “verona’s garden”.

the cooperative has an IsO 9001:2008 certification.

locally, organization of meetings and cultural evenings for in-depth analysis and awareness.

Identity //

“planet viaggi responsabili” was created with the aim of promoting and developing responsible tourism with a view to meeting, dialogue, exchange and solidarity among peoples. In 1999 the tour operator began to organize the first trips of “responsible tourism” in Central America and the Caribbean, combining the experience gained in over 10 years working in international cooperation with the technical competence of tour operators. today, more than 45 countries are available.

trips are often accompanied and almost always in the case of groups. Although the guide is not a professional guide, they serve primarily as a cultural mediator and point of reference for the group. Another constant is the use for the overnight stay of local bed and breakfasts, private homes, hostels, trying as much as possible accommodation run by local realities.

It can happen – especially when the trip includes a stay of a few days in indigenous communities – to stay overnight in conditions not always very comfortable: it requires in this case a bit of adaptability; for example you can not always guarantee en-suite bathroom or hot water all day; the accompanying person is still able to explain all the details before the trip.

79

verona

Often the inside traveling use local public transport buses or organizations referents. the food is often managed through a group fund. some trips are operated entirely with a common pot (food and also accommodation, local guides, transport); these are highlighted in the catalogue as “travels with common pot”. We always travel in small groups - 10/12 people at most - to limit the impacts on host communities. In some cases a portion of the share is directly used to finance a project of cooperation and local development.

But the journey is always in itself a local development project. It requires a capacity for adaptation probably superior to that of a “traditional” trip: it is indicated in the characteristics of each trip in a scale ranging from low (*) to medium (**) to high (***).In the countries visited in the southern hemisphere, it supports the development of solidarity projects related to tourism.

the tour operator is a member of AItr, the Italian Association for responsible tourism, and is a promoter of the definition of a standard on responsible tourism.

Besides:- Head of responsible tourism of the District of social Economy of verona (DEs) and

a member of El sèlese;- one of the founders of EArtH, european network for responsible tourism;- promoter of “rotte locali”, network of responsible tourism in the verona area;- the headquarters of the association is also the territorial reference in veneto for

Identity //

the Cooperative nuovi Orizzonti was founded in 1980 by a group of parents of teens welcomed by AnFFAs (schio), with the aim of offering them a chance of social and job integration.

through its various activities, the cooperative has tried, in recent years, to achieve its social objective. At present, it involves about 40 people with work, of which half are in distress or have a disability. With them is planned a project of job placement that, depending on each case, will be training with a view to permanent employment at the Cooperative itself.

Over the years, moreover, the Cooperative in santorso designed and gradually built an Oasis (Oasi rossi) that combines recreation, outdoor walks in contact with nature, educational and social initiatives which have become provincial and national common heritage and moments of aggregation.

through the creation and management of this area, which combines the park of villa rossi, and the catering business (restaurant, bars and bruschetteria), the cooperative has expanded possibilities for social and job integration of people with disability and discomfort occupied and involved.

project “rwanda Jewellery” recovery of the rwandan ancestral technique of intertwining of plant fibers (the ububoshyi bu’uruhindu), revisited in contemporary design. thanks to the impulse of the service clubs involved in the project of solidarity san marco, oriented particularly to the rwandan women, had started the Atelier rwanda, with the intention of starting from human resources, materials, patterns and technical specifications of that territory to innovate and diversify crafts, elevating simple materials to a high symbolic and commercial value, and creating unique and original jewelry.

In 2012 the meeting with “primavera ‘85” social Cooperative, which was already operating in jewellery, led to the birth of a collaboration and thus the creation of a line of jewellry, synthesis of the rwandan tradition and the Italian design.
