Agenzia Regionale del Turismo Puglia Promozione

Pugliapromozione is an instrumental body of the Puglia Region; it works towards the implementation of the policies of the Puglia Region on the promotion of a unified image of the Region and the promotion of local tourism; it has organizational, administrative, financial, accounting, managerial and technical autonomy, inspired by the principles of transparency and economy, as well as by the criteria of efficiency and effectiveness.

The Vision of Pugliapromozione

To manage and promote the tourist destination of Puglia as an integrated and flexible complex set of tangible and intangible values, through the work of different integrated and organized entities towards balanced and sustainable tourism development.

If tourism is a bridge between peoples and cultures, an act of human and cultural aggregation, a conscious openness to the other and to modernity, Puglia wants to be a virtuous, conscious and responsible tourism model, because it respects man, nature, the environment, the rules and laws that regulate the sector.

The Agency pursues a vision that targets leadership in Italian tourism and believes that the competitive value and image of Puglia as a tourist destination consists of its multiple territorial identities, the level of integration between the actors present, the quality of the landscape and the environment and the civilized and comfortable local resident communities.
