The Park, in order to involve commercial and tourist operators who live and work in the protected area, promotes the initiative "Park Ambassadors."
Hotels and lodges managers, ski instructors, mountain guides and sports instructors are often the first to come into contact with tourists who visit the Park each year, the goal is to raise awareness and inform the public about the importance and the possibilities provided by the protected area, thanks to figures that every day live the territory and can talk about it personally.
"On the territory of the Park work many have professionals that have relations with the public, people that we think can help us convey the cultural identity of the valleys, with particular attention to the environment, culture, traditions and food and wine," explains the President Italo Cerise, "Become Park Ambassador means for us to tell, spread and apply, from a wide point of view, the knowledge acquired but also educate on respect of nature and heritage of the Park, in order to improve the relationship with the public and the sense of belonging of people who work in the protected area".
The title of “Park Ambassador” has been recognized to all those who have shared the project taking part to some of the follow-up meetings, held by the Body staff and by external experts; the themes will be treated in an interactive mode, leaving space for interventions and debate.
Operators belonging to accommodation facilities that will receive the title of Ambassador will have an identification element at its structure (a sail or a flag), designed and realized by the Park for the 2014.
Mountain guides and sport instructors will receive instead a mark that will be affixed to their uniform. The principle is to give tourists a visually immediate indication of where you can find personnel, not only qualified, but also able to provide information about the Park: for this reason also Valley Surveillance locations, Visitors Centres and tourist information points will be furnished of countermarks.
