Abstract
Presents the results of reasearch aimed at determining the level of environmental awareness among high school students and 200 students of University of Sannio. The components of the two groups have been chosen in order to be as heterogeneous as possible referring to social extraction, cultural level and age. The results have demonstrated that the establishment of the Environmental Education and Ecology Courses has had a positive effect on the environmental awareness and ecotourism involvement. This has encouraged the foundation of the Cultural, Environmental and Integrated Management of Coastal Line Academy in Anacapri, as a reference point for high training and formation. Consideration on the link between training on sustainable development and a focus on tourism is given.
