We live in a world that is constantly evolving, which is taking place with an astonishing speed. Over the past 30 years, there have been concerns that have tried or are trying to promote the slowdown. Such a current is the slow movement, promoted initially by Carlo Petrini and which today has millions of followers worldwide. Under the slow umbrella there were developed many ideas, some with high impact such as slow food, CittaSlow, and others. In the chapter, the author makes an inventory of the evolution of the slow current and puts this evolution in a logical structure. In his research, the author uses the international databases as well as the multimedia resources available. The chapter underlines that the slow movement has its best results in the tourism industry, for which this movement is so important. The author points out three main directions of evolution, which may constitute points of interest for future research, especially in the direction that has connection with slow food, slow tourism, and CittaSlow.
