Lessons learned relevant to the twin transitions focused on developing or updating tourism strategies include:

• Integrated approach to sustainability: Tourism strategies should take an integrated approach that considers economic, environmental and social sustainability. This means considering the economic impacts of tourism activities, the preservation of the natural and cultural environment, and the well-being of local communities.
• Stakeholder Involvement: It is essential to actively involve stakeholders, including government representatives, tourism operators, local communities, nongovernmental organizations, and other key players, in the design and implementation of tourism strategies. Stakeholder involvement helps to ensure that strategies are based on broad consensus and address the needs and concerns of all stakeholders.
• Awareness raising and training: It is important to raise awareness and train various tourism stakeholders on sustainability and best practices. Education and training can raise awareness about the impacts of tourism and provide skills and tools to adopt more sustainable approaches.

The project ‘Kore Siciliae’ aims to enhance the peculiarities of the ‘Rocca di Cerere UNESCO Global Geopark’ and to encourage geotourism as a form of tourism that binds together the geological formation of the area, its natural and cultural heritage, and the wellbeing of its communities.

Rocca di Cerere UNESCO Global Geopark also worked for the strengthening of Community NETWORKS through cooperation between small operators to organize joint working processes and share facilities and resources, for the development and marketing of tourism and tourist services under the ‘Kore Siciliae‘ single brand.

Kore Siciliae intends to offer an authentic and transforming experience that starts from the land that hosted the Myth of Persephone (Kore) and continues every day in the storytelling of the guides, in the hands of the artisans, in the harvest of the earth.
