ACTItalia is aware that the beating heart of the nation, made up of small municipalities, is the bearer of genuine hospitality based on simple and spontaneous elements, framed by settings of which the Italian environmental and natural system is rightly proud.
The inhabitants, guardians of these unique places, are called to talk about their history and their culture and to present their cuisine, the taste of good traditions, the urban layout, the building characteristics, etc.
ACTITALIA, with its network of clubs scattered throughout the national territory, intends to enter into agreements with these local communities, with the express purpose of collaborating in their economic development, encouraging and promoting opportunities for genuine hospitality and helping them to create equipment capable of promoting integration between the tourist – guest and the local citizenship.
The ACTItalia National Federation, at its sole discretion, assigns the prestigious recognition of “Yellow Flag”.
