Summary/Abstract: The paper explores tourism development in the Italian region of Venezia Giulia. The territory under discussion represents an interesting but unexplored field of study in historiography, focusing on tourism development during the interwar period. My aim is to study the interrelation between the political regime and the national discourse within the tourism development sector in its various forms. The intent is to study how tourist destinations (“old” and “new”) managed to adjust to the changed political circumstances within a developing totalitarian system – fascism. Different typologies of tourist destinations will be taken into consideration.
