A shared call to contribute to peace through heritage
In 2025, in the heart of Florence, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, we reaffirm that Peace is the essential condition for traveling, meeting, and sharing humanity’s heritage.
On a symbolic anniversary – 80 years since the end of the Second World War – we launch the Heritage for Building Peace 2025 Appeal.
It calls upon institutions, enterprises, and international communities to embrace a new cultural and economic orientation for cooperation among peoples.
It is a manifesto to transform hospitality and tourism into instruments of dialogue, inclusion, sustainable development, and the enhancement of the multicultural richness of World Heritage Sites — a cultural, social, and economic resource in contrast to overtourism.
By signing the Appeal, you choose to be part of a culture of peace founded on the universal value of Heritage.
