The Province of Teramo is a local authority specializing in land and urban planning, environmental issues, and mobility. The territory comprises 47 municipalities with a combined population exceeding 300,000 inhabitants.

The ‘Toural’ project aligns seamlessly with our organization’s mission, especially considering our role as a network of local authorities and our focus on sustainable city development. The Province of Teramo will actively collaborate in promoting initiatives through its network of members and utilizing communication tools. Additionally, it will contribute to the transferability of practices within our region.

Participating in the ‘Toural’ project presents a significant opportunity for the Province of Teramo. The province is dedicated to achieving a strategic development scenario for the territory by reorganizing and revitalizing existing rural and mountain settlements. This includes promoting alternative forms of tourism to mass tourism (such as the development of niche sectors) and ensuring a sustainable balance among different territories.

The identified objective in Toural, where cultural, sustainable, and creative tourism can drive economic development in rural and remote areas, strongly resonates with the goals of the Province of Teramo. For years, the province has been actively involved in rebalancing the weight of territories through targeted tourism policies.

Within the Toural project, the Province of Teramo will focus on constructing and transferring growth strategies to the territories. This involves identifying local experimental interventions, evaluating the sustainability of these interventions, and disseminating project results through effective communication.”
