Adapting to New Realities: Changes in the Tourism Industry

Description

Climate change is reshaping mountain tourism across Europe. From the French Alps to Austria, Italy, and Switzerland, mid-altitude ski resorts are struggling with declining snowfall, putting their business model at risk. How can these regions adapt? What strategies can ensure tourism remains both sustainable and resilient at higher altitudes?

This workshop will bring together key players—including ski resorts, regional nature parks, and industry leaders like Compagnie des Alpes—to explore the shifts needed and reimagine the future of mountain tourism.
