Prepared for what lies ahead in tourism
Stay up-to-date with current, independent statistics and information on tourism in the Alpine region.
Creating improved recreational opportunities for future tourism - that was the aim of this year's conference at the NECSTouR Annual General Meeting. We were there and brought back some exciting topics from the conference, which we present briefly below.
Reducing global tourism emissions
Virginia Fernandez-Trapa from UN Tourism presented the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism. The basic goal is to halve global tourism emissions within the next ten years and to achieve "net zero emissions" by 2050. So far, the drivers and signatories of this declaration are the UNWTO, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), etc. Interested organizations can still participate until October. The declaration will be published in November 2021.
