Over 400 tour operators and experts gathered in Perugia in central Italy for the conference.

"There is also a strong connection between wine and other forms of tourism," Chiara Lungarotti, president of the Wine Tourism Movement that organized the conference, told Xinhua.

"Wine provides a unique opportunity to promote the extraordinary potential of the touristic market in an integrated way," she said, adding that wine does not only represent an excellent drink, but especially a lifestyle.
