Abstract

A causa delle attuali complesse sfide socio-economiche ed ecologiche, vi è un urgente bisogno nella letteratura e nella pratica del turismo di ripensare i modelli di gestione delle destinazioni. Pertanto, questo articolo - attingendo dalla concettualizzazione della destinazione turistica come ecosistema - sviluppa un modello co-evolutivo di gestione della destinazione che consente di cogliere le relazioni e le dinamiche temporali tra gli attori chiave della stessa. In particolare, lo studio esamina la destinazione rurale dei Castelli Romani, vicino Roma, composta da 16 comuni. Il modello co-evolutivo proposto viene applicato a questa destinazione osservando l'interazione dinamica tra i suoi attori chiave e l'evoluzione dell'ecosistema verso la (in)sostenibilità. I risultati mostrano il ruolo cruciale dell'imprenditorialità sostenibile e l'importanza per le Destination Management Organization (DMO) di saper coinvolgere gli imprenditori sostenibili e innovativi, al fine di rafforzare la visione imprenditoriale della destinazione. Da tutto ciò emergono rilevanti implicazioni teoriche e pratiche.
