Moreover, its focus on eco-friendly practices encourages responsible tourism, reducing environmental impact while maintaining high-quality visitor experiences.

Torino’s transformation also brings unique opportunities for cultural and leisure activities. The city's creative districts, such as OGR and Lingotto Factory, provide spaces for contemporary art, music, and events, offering an engaging mix of tradition and innovation. Additionally, Torino’s proximity to natural attractions, including the CollinaPo Biosphere Reserve, allows travelers to experience diverse landscapes alongside urban exploration, making it an attractive year-round destination.

Torino, recognized as a smart tourism leader shows its dedication on sustainable and empathy tourism, in short putting sustainable and equal travel.
