On Saturday, November 29th, at 5:30 p.m., at the Businco Oncology Hospital, “Tourism That Doesn’t Pay” by Cristina Nadotti, journalist, writer, and traveler. Cristina Nadotti, who has worked for La Repubblica for over 20 years, has covered foreign affairs, international cooperation, and ecological transition. She has chosen Sardinia as her adopted home. Moderator: Giulia Clarkson.
In a world where travel has become more accessible than ever, we rarely stop to ask who suffers the consequences of mass tourism. Nadotti dismantles the myth of tourism as an engine of infinite growth, exposing its dark side: from the pressure on local communities to the destruction of ecosystems, to the impact on the economies of the most visited destinations. What happens when a city becomes a “city of art,” a town an “authentic village,” and a beach an “Instagrammable location”? The book offers a critical and well-documented analysis of the contradictions of the overtourism phenomenon and the socioeconomic and environmental impact it has on our country.
