The fifteenth SISTUR scientific meeting was held between Messina and Taormina, focusing on tourism between sustainability conditions and promotion policies.
The thematic framework: islands, inland areas and fragile territorial systems were at the centre of the debate, with attention to both structural constraints and development opportunities.
Why it matters: scientific meetings of this kind help connect academic research, territorial policy and applied tourism strategy.
The broader value: they also provide a useful platform for discussing how sustainability can move from principle to operational governance.
