Discovering an original and stimulating reality without borders<\/strong>, where we feel part of the whole world. Indeed, the Museum of Tourism<\/strong> has no boundaries and is spreading like wildfire on a global scale.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Museum of Tourism<\/strong> has its roots in the passion of Alberto Bosque Coello<\/strong>, who has always been interested in the sector. A person with a strong sensitivity for art in all its forms, Alberto has acted as a magnet<\/strong>, constantly attracting new collaborations. But let’s not rush: let’s go step by step. For years, he has been collecting, with great dedication, ancient objects related to tourism, such as guidebooks, postcards, souvenirs <\/strong>and pictures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n However, the most powerful impulse came from a Belgian friend of his, Serge Patelli, who gave him a 1929 Michelin guide to Spain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In the act of handing over this first \u201cfind\u201d, Serge uttered a sentence that had a twofold effect on our Alberto: \u00abI am giving you this book because you are the only Spanish person I know who appreciates these things. Most of the Spanish culture has ended up in the trash<\/em>\u00bb.<\/p>\n The spring paved the way for the project in his mind: to make it available to everyone and disseminate a great heritage<\/strong> otherwise destined for oblivion.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Implementing such an ambitious<\/strong> and far-reaching<\/strong> project, Alberto Bosque had initially turned to public bodies for funding.<\/p>\n However, this place to show the history of tourism<\/strong> could not always depend on any public aid. Therefore, it became a personal challenge, and he considered a way in which anyone from anywhere could join.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It started with the Italian idea<\/strong> of the “diffused<\/strong>” museum, a term difficult to find in other languages and almost impossible to translate. Despite this minor linguistic obstacle, the concept was establishing a museum with rooms scattered worldwide, i.e. thematic exhibition spaces<\/strong> that the corresponding local managers run.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Anyone can participate in various ways; not only people operating the tourism sector<\/strong> collaborate in the project. How? You can contribute by providing a room<\/strong>, donating material<\/strong>, contributing to the management of social media<\/strong> or writing for the blog<\/strong>, following and being followed by this ever-expanding reality.<\/p>\n In other words, even a simple like<\/strong> can contribute to protecting and handing down the history of tourism<\/strong>. The key characteristics of the Museum are all-round participation<\/strong> and openness to any kind of proposal that can fuel interest in this great enterprise<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Museum’s home is the world<\/strong>, reaffirming its inclusive<\/strong>, collaborative and borderless nature<\/strong>. After Albero Bosque Coello, coordinator of the Museum of Tourism, three other equally talented people<\/strong> joined in the fantastic and endless journey around the world:<\/p>\n Rafael Guzm\u00e1n Villarreal, Javier Mateos de Porras G\u00f3mez, and Ra\u00fal Garc\u00eda Cuesta. So, 4 Spanish are supervising and coordinating the activities. The huge goal is to open at least one room in every nation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n First of all, by visiting a single room, it is impossible to get to know and understand the entire history of tourism. Each room is only a tiny “taste”<\/strong> that constitutes an essential piece<\/strong> of a larger and more important design. As mentioned earlier, it will be possible to get a closer touch with the local reality in the various museum venues, depending on the type of structure that houses them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The museum venues range from a hotel<\/strong> to a local authority<\/strong> rather than from a travel agency<\/strong> to a tour operator<\/strong>. Visits<\/strong> are completely free<\/strong> and open to all<\/strong>. Moreover, since they are public passageways, they are easy to reach. The core is to preserve the memory of the past<\/strong>, hand it down, and project it into a dimension that looks to the future<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We have finally arrived at the 10 sites<\/strong> we will get to know shortly and, more specifically, at a later stage.<\/p>\n NEXT OPENING… Room 84: Hotel Saturnia International, <\/strong>Venice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n All of us, insiders and outsiders, are making the Museum of Tourism great because if we think about it, we are all tourists<\/strong> and travellers<\/strong>. Whether we visit it physically or virtually via the web, we will discover a sector that is driving both economically and, above all, from a sociocultural point of view. So, fasten your seatbelts: we’ll be waiting for you on the next stage!<\/p>\n For further info about the Museum of Tourism in Italy please go to the Facebook official page (in Italian)<\/strong>:<\/p>\nThe Museum of Tourism: the origin<\/strong><\/h2>\n
