The winter tourism industry in the Alps is highly dependent on climate conditions and the consequences of climate change in the mountains. As climate change leads to a rapid decrease in snow cover, mountain stakeholders face the challenge of managing impacts on the socio-economic system. TranStat aims to promote the implementation of new models of tourism, economic, social and environmental development in Mountain Resorts, understood as ski resorts and their territory. The project partners will address this overall issue through the development of a physical and digital network of resorts in transition in order to share knowledge and support resort managers and local stakeholders.
TRANSTAT shall:
- Create tools and methodologies for sustainable touristic, economic, social and environmental transition of alpine mountain areas;
- Foster participatory approach in order to identify the challenges, and to elaborate scenarios and co-constructed solutions for the future development of mountain resorts;
- Develop policy recommendations at local, regional, national and transnational alpine scale. It will foster the implementation of transition processes in order to integrate economic diversification and quality of life for the population.
