The association members are former and present professors and researchers of various Italian Universities and research institutes. The A.R.I.P.T. Fo.R.P. promotes the progress of interdisciplinary research, training and planning on the various aspects of tourism, with reference to the psychology of tourism and to other disciplines in the sector.
Is the Italian Association for Studies on Quality of Life (Associazione Italiana studi sulla QUAlità della Vita), founded on December 22, 2010, in Florence – Italy.
