Little by little, one travels far…

Secondo capitolo

Dear 1st year students,

this week, I would like for you to answer two questions (in English obviously!!!).

1) What are the pull factors of your city/town/village? 2) And what are the push factors that make people want to go there?

I will start and this will provide you with an example of the type of text that I would like for you to produce.

I come from a village which is located between Siena and Grosseto: Civitella Marittima. There are only a few tourists there, even if it is a very nice area. The main pull factors as far as my village is concerned are the unspoilt countryside, the medieval setting, an excellent restaurant and the good position to go on daytrips and to visit the most popular destinations in Southern Tuscany. The push factors for the tourists who come to my village are the love of nature and art, the desire to experience authentic Tuscany, the desire to experience life in a small medieval hilltop village, the love of good food and wine and the desire to find accommodation at a relatively low price, and yet to be close to the most famous sights in the region.
