The DIT is committed to promoting and, above all, marketing the area's tourism products and offer through the communication and dissemination of structured tourism proposals.The web portal intends to offer potential tourists information, travel suggestions, but also the sensations and emotions of an area capable of offering visitors exciting discoveries.surfing the DIT portal the user, whether a private individual, an agency or a tour operator, can acquire all the information on the area's tourist offer, book overnight stays in the accommodation facilities, or choose from the various types of tourist packages that aim to satisfy a wide range of interests and demands.

Mission: To support the development of the tourism sector by focusing on the integration of the offer, both among the various types of activities managed by private individuals and among the various public administrations that have competence in the tourism sector in various capacities, referring to and utilising all the opportunities provided for by the regulations (national, community, regional). The concept of integration represents the basis on which the district's overall structure rests. The ability to correlate different types of 'tourist offer', the harmonisation of the activities of public and private entities, and the management in terms of efficiency and effectiveness of the presentation/promotion of the provincial territory, and the correlated marketing of the accommodation facilities and other associated service enterprises, constitute the philosophy in which the DIT must recognise itself.

4 Days

A full food and wine immersion in Umbria, where truffles, oil and wine are the basis of typical local flavours along with cheeses, cold cuts and fresh homemade pasta. These ingredients are kept in exclusive places and suggestive settings, to be reached on foot or by bicycle, in order to fully grasp the gastronomic value of the products without neglecting the landscape and naturalistic aspect of the places where they are born and grow. A fun truffle hunt will bring you into close contact with nature, in search of the prized tuber, with the support of expert truffle hunters and skilful dogs, while a relaxing eco-boat tour will allow you to discover Lake Piediluco, where you can enjoy excellent freshwater fish.
