The municipality of Agrigento has launched ‘Naturalmente Agrigento’, a tourism project focused on promoting slow and sustainable travel. Funded by a 2022 Ministry of Tourism grant for UNESCO-linked sites and implemented with CoopCulture, the initiative seeks to connect the Valley of the Temples with the city, coastline, and natural trails to move away from ‘hit-and-run’ tourism.

The project includes a ‘Slow & Green’ festival scheduled for September 4 to 6, featuring workshops, talks, and concerts. Additional components involve the development of green paths, a mobile application, and environmental actions such as a beach cleanup led by Plastic Free. Mayor Michele Sodano has also expressed intentions to plant 10,000 trees and develop a cycle-pedestrian path along the Rupe Atenea forest trail.
