Theoretical framework…… • COMM(2002)262- The Key to Competitiveness of European Economies and Enterprises: “The objective of making the EU a globally competitive knowledge–based economy implies that measures to support economic growth should not lead to centralization, increased concentration or increasing state aids. Productivity growth is determined by improvements in the quality of inter–firm interaction, by the accumulation of knowledge and by market–based choice of best solutions. Competitive firms are the carriers of change, providing the link between abstract ideas and innovation–driven, growth–generating market evolution. Within this process, technical progress and organizational change are inseparably entwined.” G.L.Bagnara - L'Altra Romagna
.….Theoretical framework….. • local growth models are identified by their production and transaction costs • The growth of a region depends on spatial planning which supports the connection between rural and urban space. Local production is established thanks to ability which is acquired over the years to build up specific resources (human, technological, etc.) and to manage production processes, rather than to geographic advantages. • The value of a location is due to the value of its exchanges linked to its environmental characteristics, namely to its not transferable properties. G.L.Bagnara - L'Altra Romagna
The strategy of rural tourism • From a tourism of destination to a tourism of motivation • Why a tourist should come here? • Territory: not just goods! • Territory = goods + peoples • Tourism as experience of life • Value = relationships => communication • Tour operator: • Entrepreneur = management of marketing • Local Public administration = management and guarantee of information • Value of local typical products: • Not just sell product but culture that generated it G.L.Bagnara - L'Altra Romagna
The strategy of rural tourism • From values of product to value of a territory: • From quality of product to quality of life • First wellness of local people to offer quality of life • Each resident is a tour operator: co-responsibility • Need of a governance of the system G.L.Bagnara - L'Altra Romagna
Steps to plan a local system • Identity • Heritage, traditions, innovation,imitation and competition, entrepreneurial resources • Connections • Networks, marketing services • Competencies • Human resources, skills, enterprise leaders, diffuse competencies • Barriers to growth • Infrastructures, finance, connections to markets, capabilities G.L.Bagnara - L'Altra Romagna
