Cultural Association for Rural Tourism

The Association of Pistoia in Tuscany was projected by a group of women whose scope is to promote and enhance the territory of Pistoia after having attended a course funded by the European Union focusing primarily on the concept of Rural Tourism.
The landscape is increasingly attractive for new forms of tourism and a valid alternative to the traditional ways of spending a holiday. Tuscany is one of the richest areas of natural beauty but despite this favorable scenario, the mountain regions are not visited as much.  Many mountain areas and in particular that of Pistoia, in fact, fail to attract tourists, yet its potential is very high and well distributed with events all year round. 

The idea of the Association is therefore to give new life to Pistoia's mountainous region making the landscape our "social project", developing the natural features and cultural events and therefore provide opportunities for aggregation suitable for people that love nature, nature-and culture-sports.

The objective therefore is that the visitor perceives the "distance" of these faraway places  as a conquest of exclusiveness to be discovered intact and enchanted and where you will find friendly hospitality, homemade taste but with all the comforts that the tourist want to have.

You must therefore ensure that these areas once reached by the tourist, keep the expectations of tourists by promoting the development of the mountainous region and facilitating the sustainable growth of this beautiful territory.
Preserve its historical heritage - culture and focus the tourists who seek an environment that will detox from urban living but still at close range from major cities like (Florence, Lucca, Pisa, etc. ..)

The Association aims to create a "workbench" for developing a sense of cohesion and collaboration between stakeholders to stimulate the overall redevelopment of the area and the adaptation of services to the quality standards of living and excellence.
