Sustainable Tourism Management in Alpine Regions

The Alpine regions are experiencing significant challenges due to high-impact tourist activities and climate change. This use case leverages AI and data analytics to promote sustainable tourism and build resilient infrastructure.

Challenges

  • Overcrowding in natural areas and environmental impacts of tourism, which stresses fragile ecosystems and lowers the quality of visitor experiences.
  • Climate change, with rising temperatures and shifting weather patterns affecting accessibility and destination appeal.
  • Lack of tourist awareness about sustainable practices, leading to harmful environmental behaviors.

Solutions

  • Promoting sustainable practices to protect the environment and improve visitor experiences through responsible behavior.
  • Fostering cross-border collaboration between Austria and Slovenia to align sustainable tourism efforts, balancing development and environmental protection

Innovating to support sustainable tourism in alpine regions

  • Leveraging data and technology to support sustainable tourism practices.
  • Identifying and analyzing relevant data sources to understand tourism flows and environmental impacts.
  • Developing a dashboard to monitor the carrying capacities of popular destinations, keeping visitor numbers within sustainable limits.
  • Creating an end-user application that enriches data for stakeholders and platforms.
  • Scaling for broader impact, with the potential to apply these strategies in other regions.
