Final report
The 17th edition closes in Assisi
The WTE confirms itself as the only moment of discussion and promotion specialised in tourism linked to tangible and intangible cultural heritage.
The seventeenth edition of the World Tourism Event ended on Friday 25 September in Assisi, to the satisfaction of organisers, exhibitors and participants. Over the two days, visitors toured the stands set up in Palazzo del Monte Frumentario and took part in the many meetings organised with the Association of Italian World Heritage Properties and the Santagata Foundation for the Economics of Culture.
This year the focus on the UNESCO brand was linked to the theme of walking routes: from the Way of Francis to cultural itineraries, cycle routes and nature trails. Work on the 18th edition has already begun: it will be held in 2027 in Veneto.
