There are many projects that the Municipality of Florence, following a public call for tenders and thanks to an important funding from the Ministry of Tourism ("Great Italian Destinations for Sustainable Tourism" site in Italian), is promoting for an increasingly sustainable tourism, also in terms of delocalisation and deseasonalisation of flows. More in detail, the measures of the Call for Proposals envisage various declinations of our destination: Unusual Florence, Out of Season, Accessible, Green & Clean, and other projects to enhance the urban fabric.
