Hi, I’m Brigida Corritore, founder of Amalfi Coast Green Lung, a Destination Management Company (DMC) dedicated to creating bespoke travel experiences in the Amalfi Coast sustainable tourism. Recently, I had the honor of representing this incredible region at the International Roots Tourism Exchange (BITO) in Matera, held on November 18-19, 2024, during the Roots-in fair.
This event was a unique opportunity to spotlight the potential of roots tourism, a growing trend where travelers reconnect with their ancestral heritage through meaningful and authentic experiences. It was also the perfect setting to highlight our expertise in collaborating with international travel agencies to design tailor-made itineraries for individuals (FITs) and groups.
Why Tramonti is a Must-Visit Destination
Tramonti, the “Green Lung” of the Amalfi Coast, is a treasure trove of history, tradition, and natural beauty. Its lush vineyards, artisanal culinary heritage, and peaceful landscapes make it an ideal destination for travelers seeking authentic, soulful experiences.
At BITO 2024, I was proud to present some of the unique experiences we offer in Tramonti:
- Food and wine tours, including visits to family-run wineries producing the rare Tintore grape, and hands-on workshops to master the art of Tramonti pizza.
- Immersive hikes, allowing visitors to connect with the pristine natural surroundings of this quiet corner of the Amalfi Coast.
The feedback was overwhelming—visitors and travel professionals alike were captivated by Tramonti’s potential to offer deeply personal and unforgettable experiences.
Collaboration with International Travel Agencies
One of the highlights of our participation at BITO 2024 was the chance to strengthen partnerships with international travel agencies and tour operators.
As a DMC, Amalfi Coast Green Lung specializes in designing custom itineraries for FITs and groups, tailored to the unique preferences of each traveler. For families exploring their roots, we create genealogical tours that connect them to their ancestors’ stories. For groups, we offer curated packages combining cultural, natural, and gastronomic highlights of Tramonti and the Amalfi Coast.
Our collaborations ensure that travelers receive a seamless, deeply enriching experience, while agencies can rely on us as a trusted partner to deliver exceptional service.
The Emotional Power of Roots Tourism
Roots tourism is particularly well-suited to Tramonti and the Amalfi Coast, where every corner tells a story of resilience, tradition, and connection to the land. Reflecting on this potential, Vincenzo Savino, Deputy Mayor of Tramonti, shared:
“Roots tourism is still untouched, making it inherently sustainable. It will help extend the tourist season while attracting both travelers and descendants of emigrants. This market is deeply emotional, capable of touching the soul, especially in areas like ours that align beautifully with the inner, lesser-known corners of the Amalfi Coast.”
This emotional dimension resonates deeply with me. Every journey we design at Amalfi Coast Green Lung is a chance to reconnect travelers not just with their destination but with themselves.
Amalfi Coast Sustainable and Authentic tourism
At Amalfi Coast Green Lung, we believe that tourism can be a force for good. By focusing on sustainability, we ensure that our itineraries respect and preserve the cultural and environmental heritage of Tramonti and the Amalfi Coast.
As I often say,
“Every journey is an opportunity to reconnect—with ourselves, with others, and with the places that shape us.”
