The purpose of this project was to analyze the effects of tourism on the economy, environment and culture in Venice while considering the future of tourism post-COVID-19 in order to contribute to the SmartDest project in creating new policies for sustainable tourism. In order to accomplish this goal, we constructed timelines of Local, International, Political, and COVID-19 events that have impacted tourism. We also contributed to the planning of the City Labs Events, which will be used to discuss the future of sustainable tourism. Our contribution to these events included the organization of an invitation list of 142 stakeholders involved in the tourism industry in Venice as well as the design of an invitation and newsletter advertising some of the key ideas that SmartDest has been working on. The information gathered from the timelines, City Labs Events, and updated Venice Dashboard will help contribute to the creation of policies for sustainable tourism.
