The Inner Eye
The articles published in EVUS will provide the raw material to suggest routes and itineraries for our readers. We wish to offer original alternatives to the usual tourist itineraries that sometimes appear outdated or only follow the commercial trend. In the effort to highlight the ever-growing importance of a territory and its cultural and artistic heritage, the itineraries of Evus will be composed and executed with the contribution of qualified researchers and local tour guides.
Evus invites groups, associations, agencies and tour operators, both public and private, to suggest themes and specific routes. Evus is also available to help in planning and developing territorial events and cultural itineraries, also created specifically to suit the particular requirements of the customers.
