Elisa Spampinato

Community-Based Tourism Ambassador

As a Travel writer and Community Storyteller, Elisa Spampinato’s core mission is to support and promote Community-Based Tourism and a respectful and sustainable approach to tourism.

The belief that tourism can be a crucial tool for positive change in the world has always guided her professional choices, taking her from the academic ground to the grassroots level, passing through the international cooperation and international lobbying to build awareness and contribute towards a more responsible and ethical tourism sector.
She collaborates and supports local CBT initiatives and tour operators with copywriting services, consultancy and capacity building in Storytelling and digital marketing.

With the campaign Destination Community, she aims to enrich the narrative of the traditional travel marketing by widening the image of a place with the local voices.

She gathers and tells the invisible stories of destinations to create bridges between cultures and people, to help making the tourism the place of encounter and personal growth for whoever is involved in it.
