Life Beyond Tourism – The Intercultural Dialogue Movement Portal
Heritage is a powerful element that promotes the journey.
Life Beyond Tourism® was founded by the Florentine Fondazione Romualdo Del Bianco as a philosophy representing the world of opportunities that goes beyond the mass tourism made of services and consumption. It is not only sustainable tourism, and not only responsible tourism, it is a “travel for dialogue”, traveling to give yourself, with your own time and resources, to get to know the other.
Life Beyond Tourism® contributes to the diffusion and the affirmation of universal values such as respect and harmony among peoples. It aims at transforming the tourist experience from a simple occasion of leisure into a precious moment of encounter between people coming from different cultures.
Life Beyond Tourism® is an ever-growing international Cultural Movement. Whoever participates in the Life Beyond Tourism Movement wants to contribute to a path oriented to Peace and Health of the planet Earth through travel. Find out how by registering on our website and entering the world of Life Beyond Tourism®!
