A new model for governance of the local tourism system based on public/private partnership, where the public institutions and the private organisations reach an agreement in the formulation of local development projects. In particular the paper aims at understanding the evolution of the models of tourism organisation that have characterised the Region of Umbria, a region in Central Italy.
