150KM OF COASTS AND BEACHES,
A SINGLE BRAND FOR EACH AND EVERY NEED
Eight towns, ten beaches, one hundred fifty kilometers of coast, seven unique destinations and a single brand: Venice Sands. The project, the only one in Italy, was born thanks to the tourist promotion Consortia of the Coast of Veneto (Bibione, Caorle, Eraclea, Jesolo, Cavallino Treporti, Chioggia, Lido di Venezia), which gathered to provide their guests with the best that the unique 150 km of the coast of Veneto have to offer. A shared entity which represents the 35% of the tourist arrivals of all Veneto, the first region in Italy for number of tourists. Fairs, workshops, digital programs, and all the promotion process follow the same philosophy, under the single brand of Venice Sands. Within this brand, each area can express its own characteristics and features, providing suggestions and information to potential guests on the kind of vacation that suits best to them and their families. A network in which the sea expresses itself in all its aspects and excellence—from history to sport, to gastronomy, and entertainment. Venice Sands is the only example of collaborative union among beach towns in Italy. Luigi Pasqualinotto, tourist businessman, is the president of the network of companies Venice Sands and his conception of the values and operational plans to be offered to guests is very clear: “We fulfill practically each and every need of our customers, granting the most wide range of offers in the national market, but not only. Within our unique offer, guests can evaluate, choose, and pick among the various opportunities those which please them most.” Fulfill practically each and every need is a challenging goal, which represents an attractive opportunity for tourists and visitors. Integration and collaboration among consortia must therefore be strong in order to share not only the advertising process but also the tourist reception. The Regione del Veneto, too, offers an essential support, since it strongly believes in the creation of synergies among companies and projects. “It is definitely a tight collaboration. The concept of single brand means precisely that the ten beaches of Venice Sands provide an offer so diversified and integrated that it can fit everyone’s taste—from entertainment to nature, from the beach to biking, form culture to cuisine, and shopping. All coordinated with transportation and logistics.”

Spellbinding cycling routes run alongside the shore among ever-changing scenery, stretching from the lagoon past pine woods and natural dunes to the mouth of the Tagliamento, the least anthropized Alpine river in Europe. Itineraries can also be followed through the organic agricultural land in the inland areas or the Valgrande fishing pools, which were created to preserve unique, invaluable ecosystems.

On foot, by bike or by boat for couples, with family or friends: walking on Via dei Casoni (ancient buildings typical of local fishermen), is like entering a fairy tale, a suggestive journey back in time through a breathtaking natural environment a full immersion in nature.In the next months, the resort will focus on slow, sustainable tourism, complementary to the seaside offer, able to offer tourists a moderate pace experience, opposed to everyday life. This is, in fact, the type of tourism required today more than ever: days to be spent away from crowded places, in small realities and in contact with nature. The "Caorle Slow - Hike & Bike" project includes both pedestrian and bicycle routes, to discover the hinterland and the gastronomic excellence that characterize it, for a total of 300 km.
