On top of that, we cannot fail to mention Italy\u2019s most various landscapes and enjoyable climate.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, the tourism market has significantly changed: these natural features are no longer enough, however peculiar they may be.<\/p>\n<p>A new way of travelling has emerged: <strong>experiential tourism <\/strong>or<strong> experience-based tourism.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The idea behind experiential tourism is transforming tourist experiences into <strong>life experiences<\/strong>: travelers spend their holidays on a film set or participate in a cooking class, as well as contribute to a grape harvest or become involved in a medieval tale.<\/p>\n<p>Experiential tourism aims at creating <strong>peculiar experiences<\/strong>, <strong>inspirations<\/strong> and <strong>narratives<\/strong>. The travelers, together with the local actors, get the chance to play a <strong>leading role<\/strong> in shaping their unique tourist experience.<\/p>\n<p>Each single travel experience is nothing but a starting point for other adventures because it goes way beyond immediate satisfaction. Experiences give off their vital strength when they are fully enjoyed.
