Tourism and Climate Change: How is the future?

Since the beginning of the financial crisis, last fall, tourism has been suffering like many other industries the consequences. Tourism demand is decreasing and companies are cutting expenses, beginning with reducing workforeces. Investments are also suffering from the crisis and this means that green policies may be also in the agenda of reductions or even cancellations. The question is: Can Tourism Industry pospone the greening strategies to become more sustainable and to fight Climate Change… Continue

Sto facendo diversi progetti interessanti al Master in Tourism Management dello IULM e al mio corso all'Università Bicocca. In più sono uno dei soci di www.ermes.net il primo portale a 360 gradi italiano sul turismo resposabile. Fammi sapere cosa ne pensi.
Grazie e a presto

Soy de Buenos Aires, me alegro que te haya gustado Argentina. Realmente es un lugar hermoso y con diferentes paisajes para recorrer.
Estoy cursando la Licenciatura en Turismo y Hoteleria y apenas ingresé a la pagina me encantó el objetivo de la misma.
Desde ya muchas gracias por la bienvenida y estamos en contacto.

We are working with resorts and travel clubs etc. to make them more environmentally aware both in how tourists affect the surroundings and how their buildings and practices affect their footprint on global climate change. We also promote GREEN travel and offsetting your carbon when you don't have the best options available. http://www.solutionsnetworkinc.net/GREENTRAVEL.html
We also help companies and individuals use technology to eliminate unnecessary travel. I look forward to being part of this group.

At 12:41pm on October 3rd, 2008, Maurizio said…: Oh grazie Oriol, che sorpresa non pensavo qualcuno parlasse l'italiano qui e così bene.

Io sto lavorando su un progetto che va oltre il green tourism e che riguarda tutti gli aspetti del turismo responsabile.

At 8:15pm on August 16th, 2008, Eliana María Peñaloza Carreño said…: Hola Muchas gracias por ese mensaje tan interesante... Son muchos los retos que tenemos en Colombia y específicamente mi ciudad, San Gil, SAntander respecto a un manejo verde del turismo. Mi zona es conocida por el turismo de aventura (rafting, cuevas, parapente, rappel, hiking) pero tenemos una riqueza grandísima en cultura, historia y sobre todo naturaleza, es por esto que ese es personalmente mi sueño y es el poder contribuir con un proyecto turístico sustentable, respetuoso con nuestra madre tierra,

Un abrazo lleno de aromas de café y tabaco...
