How to travel responsibly?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are a lot of books and publications on the topic, but we are tired of definitions and we would like you experience it firsthand!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s “It.a.c\u00e0”, the Italian festival dedicated to the Responsible Tourism, that will take place in Emilia Romagna from May 25th to June 2nd 2013.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Italian dialect from Bologna “It.a.c\u00e0” means: “Are you at home?”<\/strong> Suggesting an idea of \u200b\u200btravel that doesn’t end when you reach the goal, but that it starts from home and home come back<\/strong>. It’s also a tribute to Odysseus, the Greek-traveler\u00a0hero determined to go beyond the Pillars of Hercules, the ultimate limit of the known world, who did the long journey back to his island, his home.<\/p>\n

If there is one thing that man has always done is travelling:<\/strong> to other places, to find himself, growing in wisdom and discovering secrets of the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The modern has turned ‘travelers’ in ‘tourists’.<\/strong> We easily jump from one corner to the other of the earth, without even realizing the distances covered (and the energy consumptions).<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00abTourism is the industry whose aim is to carry people who would feel better at home, to places that would feel better without them! \u00bb<\/strong>\u00a0 wrote in 1982 the french writer\u00a0Jean Mistler<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On the opposite<\/strong>, the spirit of traveling that we would like to recover, like Odysseus and other great travelers of the past, starts from the assumption that the extraordinary and the exotic are just around the corner.<\/strong><\/p>\n
