In a report of the Ministry of the Environment a few years ago we read: &#8220;<em>Between 2011 and 2013 the added value produced in the national parks decreased by only 0.6% while in the rest of Italy the negative variation was three times superior (-1.8%). This capacity found in many green areas is the result of a mix of economic growth, environmental sustainability, quality production, respect for knowledge and traditions<\/em>&#8220;. Also in the same report, we discover that the national parks record the highest added values: like the Stelvio with 22.491 euros, the Tuscan Archipelago with 20.991 euros and the Cinque Terre, with 20.918 euros.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-25654\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/07\/starks-don-pablo-j0FVDxTpK5k-unsplash-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"Park Effect: the nature that makes money\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/07\/starks-don-pablo-j0FVDxTpK5k-unsplash-870x490.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/07\/starks-don-pablo-j0FVDxTpK5k-unsplash-570x320.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Park Effect also seems to exist in <strong>Trentino<\/strong>, the Autonomous Province of Trento has calculated that 14% of visitors arrive just to enjoy the beauties of its parks: almost 100 thousand people, 900 thousand overnight stays and 70 million direct expenditure, which rises to 300 millions if you add also the repercussions of those who visit the protected areas despite not representing the main reason for choosing the holiday destination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the United States there are immense parks, whose total surface exceeds that of Italy and Switzerland put together: it is a network of national parks composed of 401 reserves and 49 areas of &#8220;national interest&#8221; distributed in all the states of the Federation.
