1 / Introduction: the ClimAlpTour project 1.1 / Project’s rationale ClimAlpTour “Climate change and its impact on tourism in the Alpine Space”, is a 3-year research project, which started in September 2009, financed by the European Commission within the Alpine Space Programme 2007-2013 - European Territorial Cooperation (Objective 3 of the Regional Policy 2007-2013) and will end in December 2011. It aims at dealing with the internationally recognized issue of the effects of climate change on alpine tourism, with specific reference to winter tourism and winter sports in some areas of the Alps (e.g. Italian Alps, French Alps, Slovene Alps, etc.) and to all-seasons tourism in other areas (e.g. German Alps). The issue of providing appropriate strategies to ensure a balanced development of 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 were issues of crucial interest in several studies. There is a widespread consensus that Alpine tourism needs to be rethought and both public institutions and private stakeholders have to meet the challenge of a new idea of tourism which goes beyond the traditional vision of winter sports. This project addresses in particular the need to provide both a sound knowledge of the different aspects of the impact of climate change on alpine tourism and concrete adaptation strategies to apply in selected areas. The choice to directly and indirectly involve local actors (e.g. municipalities) was led by the intention to bring concrete outcomes on the alpine territory and to foster the inclusion of the consideration of the effect of climate change on tourism in the policy agendas. On the other hand the need to increase the awareness of these issues also at the international level suggested to assure the involvement in the project of national institutions participating in international conventions (e.g. Italian Ministry of Environment, Land and Sea Protection) and of an international institutions dealing with environmental and sustainable development issues in several mountain regions worldwide, such as for instance United Nations Environment Programme. 1.2 / Partnership Il partenariato e i casi di studio hanno interessato l’intero arco alpino. La partecipazione di tutti e sei gli stati alpini e il coinvolgimento di aree geo- 8
Partners are listed in the language of their own country, followed by the country code and their acronym within the project (1) graficamente e orograficamente diverse ha permesso una visione piuttosto esauriente del turismo montano in Europa. L’obiettivo centrale è stato quello di consentire un’analisi delle peculiarità del turismo stagionale, invernale e “all-season”, proponendo soluzioni e strategie differenziate di sviluppo turistico. The partnership and the pilot studies cover the whole Alpine arc. The participation of partners from six alpine countries aims at assuring a wider perspective over the issue of alpine tourism. The need to include different geographical locations, different orographic conditions and different tourist strategies was central in this project, thus allowing the analysis of the peculiarities of seasonal tourism, snow tourism and all year tourism. The partnership includes different typologies of institutions ranging from universities and research institutes to national public administrations. Veneto Region - Directorate for Forest and Mountain Economy (RV) is the lead partner. Other partners, both EU and non-EU, are (1) : / European Academy Bolzano (IT), (EURAC); / Alpenforschungsinstitut GmbH (DE), (AFI); / Ente Regionale per i Servizi all’Agricoltura e alle Foreste (IT), (ERSAF); / Haute école spécialisée de Suisse occidentale Valais, Institut Economie & Tourisme (CH), (HES-SO); / Hochschule für Technik Rapperswil, Institut für Landschaft und Freiraum (CH), (HSR); / HTW Chur, Institut für Tourismus- und Freizeitforschung (CH), (HTW); / Hochschule München, Fakultät für Tourismus (DE), (HM); / Institut Universitaire Kurt Bösch (CH), (IUKB); / Ministero dell’Ambiente e della Tutela del Territorio e del Mare (IT), (MATTM); / Regione Autonoma Valle d’Aosta, Direzione Ambiente (IT), (RAVA Env); / Regione Autonoma Valle d’Aosta, Direzione Turismo (IT), (RAVA Tour); / Unione Nazionale Comuni Comunità Enti Montani (IT), (UN- CEM); / United Nations Environment Programme in Vienna (AT), (UNEP); / Universität Innsbruck, Institut für strategisches Management, Marketing und Tourismus (AT), (UIBK); / Université de Savoie, Institut de la Montagne (FR), (InstMont); / World Wide Fund for Nature (IT), (WWF); / Znanstvenoraziskovalni center Slovenske akademije znanosti in umetnosti, Geografski inštitut Antona Melika (SI), (ZRC SAZU). 1.3 / Scientific objectives The project ClimAlpTour studied 24 pilot cases around the Alpine arc, through which it aimed at the following six scientific objectives: (1) to analyze different possible impacts of climate change on the alpine tourist sector and their complex interrelation; (2) to provide an overview of tourist areas in the Alps where the effects of climate change can be stronger according to climate scenarios; (3) to analyze adaptation and management strategies for tourist sector which better fit in the alpine region, considering changes in customer perception and new alpine strategies for tourism industry; (4) to select a set of parameters and to identify common trends in order to feed an algorithm being able to deliver possible strategies according to the features of the examined tourist sites; (5) to build a web electronic tool 9
