ClimAlpTour

ClimAlpTour is an international project of transnational cooperation within the Alpine Space Programme. It aims at dealing with the internationally recognized issue of the effects of climate change on alpine tourism. The issue of providing appropriate strategies to ensure a balanced development of alpine tourism, the preparation of appropriate adaptation policies at the national, regional and local level and the assessment of the economic and social effects of climate change on tourism was a central issue in several studies. Taking into account their results Alpine tourism needs to be rethinked and both public institutions and private stakeholders have to grasp the challenge of a new idea of tourism which goes beyond the traditional vision of tourism activities. This project will provide a sound knowledge of the different aspects of impacts of climate change on alpine tourism, deliver it to stakeholders and policy makers and formulate concrete adaptation strategies to apply in selected areas.
