The indicator monitors the spread of agritourism, a form of tourism integrated into the local territory that helps reduce the impact of infrastructure on biodiversity and the landscape. Between 2003 and 2023, the sector recorded a 101% increase, growing from 13,000 to over 26,000 agritourism businesses. Facilities offering accommodation rose by 97%. Furthermore, "green" activities—especially nature observation—experienced significant growth.

The Blue Flag remains one of the most prestigious international environmental labels for beaches and tourist marinas. In 2024, Italy confirms itself as one of the nations with the highest number of awards, totaling 485 Blue Flags for beaches and 81 for tourist marinas, demonstrating a continuous commitment to sustainability in coastal and lake tourist destinations.

The indicator aims to provide a quantitative estimate of the contribution of tourists to daily potable water consumption.

In 2022, at the national level, the recorded tourist movement consumed 4 liters of potable water per capita equivalent per day.

Between 2015 and 2018-2020, a growth in consumption was recorded, increasing from 3.7 to 4 liters per capita equivalent, followed by a sharp drop in 2020, an anomaly attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic, which halted global travel.

Italian parks host approximately 20.2% of all accommodation establishments and 24.5% of total bed capacity within their territories.

This indicator analyzes accommodation supply (number of establishments and beds) and tourism flows (arrivals and overnight stays) in national and regional parks, also highlighting the pressure exerted on these areas.

The European Charter for Sustainable Tourism in Protected Areas (ECST) has been awarded to 80% of national parks and around 11.2% of regional parks.
