Travel is symbolic of our existential path, a process in which different worlds meet and meld as we witness and experience different cultures. The human voyage moves in the direction of happiness. And it is not a question of age, according to the Greek philosophers. In today's more complicated times, tourism can serve to defend and promote the universal value of realizing your dreams, exploring different forms of happiness and deciding your own personal path as a woman or a man. It is not easy. Especially when it is so common for civilized living to cross paths with new and old forms of racism, prejudice and discrimination. This is why values like solidarity, respect for human rights and the counteraction of homophobia are so important to promote and defend, and to incorporate directly as we promote our country's historical, environmental and cultural heritage. Pugliafriendly is a barrier-free tourism concept that attends to all aspects of diversity. Pugliafriendly is a passport for experiencing Puglia as a "middle ground" without borders, a place for peaceful encounters that really is for everyone.
