It, in fact, throughout its supply chain, is characterized not only by the movement of people, goods, services, and capital, but also of emotions, ideas, and feelings between the places of origin, transit, and those of destination of the protagonists of the tourism choice. In this sense, the global-local nexus is of fundamental importance in understanding the scope and intensity of the relational networks that are created in tourism activity, that is, to understand that the glocal-match tourism stands out as the main proper name for a fundamental element of the economy that is contamination, which in turn is the mother of universal coexistence. By its inherent nature, slow tourism44 is, in other words, the political phenomenon, leisure or bleisure time, par excellence: travel, displacement, places, the search for new cultures and knowledge, the sense and image not only ethical but also emic of tourist destinations and their natural and cultural resources represent, without the shadow of suffering any revocatory counter-argument, an infinite richness for anyone who wants to broaden the spectrum of their domestic knowledge. For this reason, it is believed, and not incorrectly, that tourism activity cuts across vital dimensions of the population: space, time and territory. In space, because it migrates naturaliter from local to regional, and from national to global dimensions; in time because the tourism experience is both intra- and inter-generational; and in territory because tourism activates functional relationships with most other economic sectors (transportation, construction, industry, agriculture, trade and services), creating a major direct and indirect economy. In addition, in tourism the cultural dimension is also transversal because it facilitates contact, knowledge of the peculiarities of an area and the emic exchange of values among the inhabitants of the Earth. This is, in our opinion, the underlying reason that requires that the focus of the tourism dimension be on a concept of territory susceptible of being extended to each of its components, in deference to a holistic vision that is increasingly capable of encompassing all the relationships of interdependence and dominance that have marked the history, landscape, culture, growth and economic development of each place. 44 As opposed to a mass tourism that is often the bearer of disorder and pollution than it wants to be. Here, therefore, we refer adhesively to the conclusions of the works of T. Montanari, V. Trione, Against exhibitions Einaudi 2017; And, on the subject, of course the extraordinary book by S. Settis, Italia S.p.A. The assault on cultural heritage, Einaudi 2007. 174 FRANCESCO GASPARI | LUIGI CAMERIERO
