Towards the first sustainable tourism district

In Trentino, high lands, rurality, landscape, shared values and lifestyles are rooted in the community's DNA. These are the elements that make its territory a unique and fragile capital to be protected, governed and respected. Our commitment to the future therefore translates into concrete actions to preserve the environmental, social and cultural heritage. 

We can all choose to be part of a change and we want to invite our guests to discover how they can contribute to this process by choosing responsible behaviour during their stay. Our region is committed to sustainability and we want to convey this value to you.

The Azienda per il Turismo Trento, Monte Bondone, Altopiano di Piné is part, together with the ApT Valsugana, Alpe Cimbra and Rovereto e Vallagarina, of the ATA Città Laghi Altipiani and has set out on a path to increase the sustainability of tourism by adhering to the principles of sustainable tourism as defined by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC).

With this project, the ATA has set ambitious goals to redefine and increase the organisation of the tourism chain from various points of view: environmental, cultural, social and economic. The achievement of these goals requires the involvement of the entire local system and the sharing of these values with our guests.

As lifeblood, sustainability feeds every idea, project and initiative of our APT. A broad and ambitious vision that takes concrete form in the adoption of all those good practices that guarantee a virtuous interaction between man and the environment. This new model of development aims to protect the urban context, its mountains and lakes, preserving their immense natural, historical and gastronomic heritage, and at the same time favouring the economic and social growth of the communities living there, balancing their respective needs.

In order to embrace sustainability more and more, we have embarked on a path of awareness that has involved all those active in the area, succeeding in integrating the process of preserving their habitat with productive activity: a chain that also includes guests, now more than ever called upon to play their part in contributing to sustainable and responsible tourism, respectful of this territory (and its resources) and consistent with the values that identify it.
