With the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), the Italian Government will redesign tourism development based on the green revolution, ecological transition, and digitalization.
In the past, the choice of sustainability was seen almost as an obstacle to development. Today, however, it is our strength to safeguard the limited resources we have available.
According to a recent study by the European Commission, tourism is the fourth cause of environmental pollution and CO2 emissions. The relationship between tourism and sustainability in Sicily is still very complicated since the spotlight has not yet been focused on a current and challenging problem to address. Few companies are making an effort to do so, and the rest still seem to be disinterested. The consumption of resources and the territory often irreparable impacts the ecosystem and cultural and social heritage.
Fortunately, the consumer himself requires an adjustment of the tourist offer, given the growing demand for sustainable tourism, overcoming the banal suggestion of "seas and mountains" that many agencies continue to serve.
We at Majolica are committed to implementing sustainable actions that have minimal impact from a territorial, social and cultural point of view, selecting suppliers who embrace these same choices like us. Beyond this, we create itineraries that do not include hydrogeological risk territories, marine, and terrestrial reserves while still guaranteeing the exploration of an authentic Sicily, including zero-impact insider access. For our proposals of nature itineraries, we have selected the best certified naturalistic guides, who will guide you in exploring the most beautiful Sicilian reserves and avoid any negative impact that man can cause, even unintentionally, to the territory.
Even at the office, we are committed to this battle against waste: we are definitively eliminating the paper reproduction of the operational material provided to our customers, offering digitized versions, certainly more updated and performing.
