Volcano Tourism and its Influence on the Territory of Mt Etna (Italy) — Explored with Digressions to Stromboli (Italy) 223

Figure 15.1 Tourist infrastructure on Mt Etna

Notes: The figure indicates the two main tourist areas on Etna: PP (a) and NN (b), showing the most important structures of the tourist industry and lava
flows of the eruption 2001 and 2002–2003. More detail is shown in the enlarged maps in ‘a’ and ‘b’. S.P. 92 in panel b stands for Strada Provinciale
(Provincial Road) No. 92. The situation shown is based on a 1999 topographic map (contour interval is 10m) and thus pre-dates the 2001 and 2002–
2003 eruptions, which destroyed Piano Provenzana and severely damaged the Nicolosi Nord station (Behnke and Struck, 2005).
