Save the Date: Webinar "Sea of data in mountain tourism - How does digital visitor guidance work?"How do I travel comfortably and in an environmentally friendly way? Which tour is not overcrowded? Our journey to the mountains often starts at home on the computer, on the way we orientate ourselves on the smartphone via apps. On site, we leave traces in nature and often also in the digital space. Digitalisation helps us as visitors, but it also helps protected areas, tourism offices and hosts. But what data is collected? Who uses it and for what purpose? What can digitalisation contribute to the protection of sensitive areas in the Alpine region? Learn about exciting projects, present your initiative or simply join in the discussion. |

Alpine Towns as Key to Sustainable Development in the AlpsMore than two thirds of the population in the Alps live in urban areas. Yet the topic of "towns" tends to be neglected in the context of mountain areas. With the report "Alpine Towns" and this conference, we want to focus for once on the Alpine settlement system. This should help to anticipate trends in the Alps so that good solutions for the future can be developed already today. |
