The new century has witnessed a rediscovery of the tourism of the trails and small inland areas, so rich in suggestive landscapes and a nature to be enjoyed. But this phenomenon has been felt even more strongly in the last two years, also due to the limitations imposed on outgoing tourism since the pandemic. Undoubtedly the qualitative growth of the trails has influenced, in particular the "short" ones, which can be covered in 5-7 days and easily accessible. This can be shown by the growing data relating to walking and cycling tourism, and by the number of routes. There seem to be numerous initiatives included in the 2017-2022 PST to identify new paths in marginal areas for the economic repercussions, declining a new "organized system" for the improvement of Italy's tourism competitiveness.
The pandemic crisis has highlighted the fragility of the traditional tourism system and at the same time has also pushed many tourists to seek a new dimension of travel, which could be a driving force for micro realities in a state of neglect but rich in history, nature and art, and able to offer opportunities for accommodation and dining; which constitute a unique heritage of accessibility and beauty in the Italian landscape and a buen retiro, like those of the Alto Casertano on the Via Francigena.
This work, starting from a literature base linked to tourism to routes and the SNAI, whats to provide an additional contribution to the initiatives in progress to identify repercussions to substract such places from the silence of knowledge, as well as from geographical marginality.
