Introduction

This website ( hereafter the "Site") has been created by the Ministry of Tourism (hereafter "MiTur" or the "Ministry"), based in via di Villa Ada n. 55 - 00199 Rome (Italy), to promote the entire tourism ecosystem of Italy in order to enhance, integrate and promote its offer.

The Site, as well as the entire organisational and functional structure, are still being defined and completed and, therefore, subject to continuous changes and additions and must, for all intents and purposes, be considered as temporary and provisional and, more generally, under construction and completion.

Some sections, sub-pages and/or parts may still be inactive and/or lacking in content as they are being developed. The Site is therefore to be considered incomplete and constantly being updated and adapted.

At this stage, the contents of the Site are merely for informational purposes and to present the main functions carried out and, also to allow for its expansion and updating, which may be subject to suspensions of accessibility and usability deriving from the necessary technical interventions.

Also following the foregoing, accessing, browsing and using the pages and/or parts of the Site entails the unconditional acceptance by the user (hereinafter the "User") of the provisional and incomplete nature of the Site and the content of these Terms and Conditions (hereinafter the "Terms").

These Terms may be, in the course of time and without prior notice, modified and/or updated, in whole or in part, it being understood that (i) said modifications shall be effective as of the date of publication of the same on this Site, and also considering that (ii) said modifications shall only be applicable to access and/or use of the Site after the aforementioned date of publication. The use and navigation on the Site after the date of publication of said modifications implies acceptance of the Terms as modified. Therefore, Users are invited to regularly access this section to check the publication of the most recent and updated Terms and Conditions of the Site.
