Le cooperative sono solitamente definite come associazioni con un ruolo specifico soprattutto nella comunità e per i propri associati. Molte di queste sono storicamente molto legate al territorio e, di conseguenza, anche al settore turistico. Alcune di questo sono state fondate con lo specifico obiettivo dell’industria turistica e, soprattutto agli esordi, dare la possibilità alle persone di andare in vacanza. Attualmente, molte cooperative nel turismo hanno anche scopi di profitto come ad esempio, la gestione di catene alberghiere, ristoranti ecc. Questo capitolo si focalizza sulle cooperative in Italia come modello per lo sviluppo e l’innovazione nel modo turistico. La specifica natura delle co-operative è strettamente connessa con la comunità e il territorio. Di conseguenza, in questo lavoro verrà anche sottolineato il ruolo delle cooperative nella promozione del turismo responsabile.
