About us

We believe in love for our land and the values of responsible tourism

We are the Turistic Association Manduria d’aMARE, a non-profit organization founded by a group of people united by their love for their land and the values of responsible tourism. Since 2024, we have been recognized as a Third Sector Entity. Our goal? To enhance the Manduria area and promote a sustainable tourism model that protects the environment, preserves local traditions, and fosters integration.

Our Objectives

  • Provide tourism information and assistance services to enhance the travel experience.
  • Support local activities that follow principles of sustainability and tradition, such as agritourisms, artisans, and farm-to-table restaurants.
  • Be a reference point for non-hotel tourism operators, providing visibility and support.
  • Collaborare con istituzioni e stakeholder per incentivare lo sviluppo turistico e culturale di Manduria.
