The Autodromo Nazionale Monza took center stage at the 3rd World Sport Tourism Congress, organized by the United Nations World Tourism Organization and the Region of Madrid. The event was held at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain, from November 2 to 29, 2024.
In particular, the President of Autodromo Nazionale Monza, Giuseppe Redaelli, participated in a forum titled “Racing to the Top: Formula 1 Driving Tourism Destination Development.” Together with Habib Turki, Chief Development Officer of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), and Amaury Bartholomé, President of Spa Circuit, the discussion explored the impact of Formula 1 events on tourism development and infrastructure growth, as well as the opportunities these events create.
Specifically, Redaelli highlighted the unique challenges of managing a century-old racetrack located within a park. He presented initiatives implemented in the areas of sustainability and inclusion, as well as recent upgrades made to ensure the circuit remains modern and competitive. This ongoing effort was rewarded with a contract renewal with Formula 1, securing the Italian Grand Prix at Monza at least until 2031.
