Migrantour Rome

Location -  Rome, Italy

Since 2014, more than half a million migrants have landed at Italian ports. There is a huge demand for economic opportunities and social programmes to support migrants looking for a better life who are entering Italy. In 2010, the Migrantour project was developed in Turin to promote responsible tourism and since 2021 it has extended to other cities in Italy. Migrantour Rome created an alternative city tour which highlights the multiculturalism and takes tourists to some of the hidden gems that make the city as wonderful and diverse as it is. Tours are led by migrants themselves so that travellers are educated on the history of migration in Italy  and they can learn about the various different cultures, languages and religions that make up the population of Rome. This project provides migrants with a job and an income which is vital in helping them settle into their new life.
