Pordenone partners with tourism bodies to boost visits ahead of 2027

Pordenone forges public‑private alliance to strengthen tourism

The Municipality of Pordenone, the Pordenone Tourism Consortium and Federalberghi have formalized a partnership to leverage the city’s designation as Italian Capital of Culture 2027 and boost local hospitality and visitor services.

During a meeting with Tourism and Cultural Policies Councillor Alberto Parigi, partners outlined promotional actions and stressed the need for shared planning that engages all stakeholders in the tourism supply chain.

• Trade fair presence: coordinated attendance at national and international events (Vienna Ferien Messe, BIT Milan, TTG Rimini) and promotional stops in key Italian and European cities, with a specific initiative planned in Munich.
• Educational tours: targeted visits for Italian and foreign travel operators to showcase the cultural and hospitality offer of the territory.
• Capital’s headquarters: concept for a physical, identity-driven space serving not only as an information point but as a hub offering local products, branded items and promotional materials.
• Municipal network: active engagement of provincial municipalities to ensure distributed accommodation capacity during the Capital year.

The Consortium, together with PromoTurismoFVG, will oversee external promotion, while Federalberghi will coordinate the accommodation sector to assure quality and readiness. Organisers note that similar promotional actions in the past yielded positive effects, particularly in the long term.

The stated aim is to turn the cultural recognition into concrete economic and identity benefits for Pordenone and the wider province through coordinated efforts by institutions, tourism operators and local municipalities.
