They are called Ambassadors of Tourism, an award given to guests who have been visiting Cavallino-Treporti for many years. The initiative, created in 2016 by the Municipal Administration, the Touristpark and Assocamping, starts from a simple yet not so common idea: a satisfied guest is the best form of promotion for the area. And this recognition (awarded thirteen people of various nationalities last summer) can make this loyal guest feel an integral part of the large family of this splendid resort. The reason for this can be summed up in some of the testimonies that have been collected among those who have been able to experience the nature of these places.
Here’s some testimonies.
“I got to know the lagoon, the water and the land that merge and generate a spectacle that changes every season. Cultivated fields bordering fishing valleys, a unique environment that has been a Unesco heritage site for over thirty years”.
“We are in a suspended land where, among islands, sandbanks, reeds, gullies, intense blooms, and reeds, we move through a borderland, unique and wild. We feel its fragility and we respect it: we would like our children and grandchildren to see it that way too, years from now!”
“These fresh waters mingling with the salty ones have made the history of these places: first the Venetians, then the Romans, then the Serenissima Republic of Venice and, finally, the Italian State have modified the territory. These humble farmers have shaped, over two millennia, the land on which they live with hard work and tenacity, day after day”.
