The Foundation's Activities
Founded in 1995 as Florence Convention Bureau, Destination Florence Foundation today boasts nearly 30 years of experience and expertise in the Florentine tourism sector. Over the years, it has expanded its areas of activity, becoming a key player in the region and a facilitator of opportunities for public institutions, companies, universities, the academic-scientific community, and cultural organizations.
The Foundation's strength lies in its unique membership, which includes the City of Florence and the Metropolitan City, its Founding Members, as well as over a hundred private tourism operators and local businesses.
