Sustainable Tourism Management in Alpine Regions

The Alpine tourism industry in Slovenia and Austria faces a unique set of challenges that require innovative solutions to ensure sustainability and balance.

• • Managing visitor flows in natural areas is a critical issue, as overcrowding puts pressure on fragile ecosystems and diminishes the quality of the tourist experience.

• • The environmental impact of tourism needs careful attention to prevent long-term damage to the region’s natural resources.

• • Climate change further complicates the situation, with rising temperatures and shifting weather patterns potentially affecting the accessibility and appeal of these destinations.

• Lack of awareness and information among tourists about sustainable practices exacerbates the strain on the environment, leading to behaviors that are harmful to the region’s resources.
