Sustainable Venice

Sustainable Venice


Venice is the only city of its type in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site representing a cultural and natural asset of exceptional value, demanding its preservation and transmission to future generations.

A sustainable tourism - not altering the natural and artistic environment, and not obstructing the development of other social and economic activities in harmony with the daily life of residents - is necessary to preserve the extraordinary beauty and uniqueness of Venice.

#EnjoyRespectVenezia is the City of Venice's awareness campaign launched during the International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development (2017) and designed to direct visitors towards the adoption of responsible and respectful behaviour towards the environment, landscape, artistic beauties and identity of Venice and its inhabitants.

The objective is to raise awareness of tourist impact, with the belief that responsible travelling can contribute to sustainable development.



12 good rules for the responsible visitor make up a sort of handbook sharing tips and advice on how to become a more aware and respectful traveller towards Venice's landscape, environment, artistic beauties and identity.

The DETOURISM campaign run by the Tourism Department of the City of Venice promotes slow and sustainable tourism, encouraging travellers to go beyond the usual tourist sights, stumble upon unique experiences and see Venice with new eyes.

#Detourism suggests authentic experiences, out-of-the-ordinary places and itineraries not only in the city centre of Venice, but also on the lagoon islands and mainland.

These sustainable itineraries lead to unusual glimpses of the city; buildings, gardens, churches and museums unknown to the majority; historic boroughs on the islands, ancient fortresses, natural areas and bicycles paths on the mainland.

The Detourism web-magazine suggests travel ideas to explore an unknown and secret Venice, while the Detourism newsletter collects monthly suggestions on visiting unusual art exhibitions and events. View the newsletter archive
