Stromboli – Sicily – Italy -Transferability Diagnostic completed after on-site assessment field visit

 The thematic workshop held during the first transnational meeting in October, provided receivers with the opportunity to have their own visiting experience of two existing eco-itineraries and to provide their own feedback relying on the 30 attributes that eco-itinerary must comply with.

During three months, each receiver worked at bringing local stakeholders together and at exploring all aspects of their future eco-itinerary whilst periodically reporting on gathered evidence to check with the coaching team that suggested choices were complying with the 30 attributes from the TOR.

To welcome the assessing team (givers and assessor), receivers were asked to put together a proposal of a two-day on-site assessment field visit that will reflect the main assets (choices of locations, activities, stakeholders and services) identified at that stage for the creation of their future eco-itinerary.

Foreseen title for future eco-itinerary: “The Fire routes”

Brief summary of future eco-itinerary:

The future eco-itinerary will include three itineraries that will give tourists a complete overview of the whole island. The brown route is a tour of the villages including historic places, aeolian architecture, local handicraft and food and wine tasting.

The green route starts from the village of S. Vincenzo, walking through typical Mediterranean bush reaching up to 290mt where you can admire the Sciara del Fuoco, the persistent Strombolian activity and the sunset.

The blue route starts reaching Ginostra by boat. The itinerary is shaped along a circular route that offers visitors a great variety of landscapes involving geological, anthropological, natural and historical aspects of the area, reaching a panoramic point overlooking the Sciara del Fuoco and the active craters of the volcano.
