UNESCO Heritage Sites and the Challenges Regarding Visitor Management

About:
By hosting the international workshop “Global Tourism Futures. Destination Heritage or Destination Future?” South Tyrol is establishing itself as a platform for an in-depth examination of global tourism development with a special focus on future studies. Various global challenges, such as climate change, technological advancements, geopolitical shifts, and demographic changes, are profoundly impacting our society. The tourism industry, being highly globalized, is inherently tied to these issues and needs to find innovative solutions to address them. Given the contested nature of these solutions and the different dominant paradigms across world regions, Global Tourism Futures aims to bring together experts from Asia, Europe, and the Gulf region to discuss their respective visions for tourism development.
The fireside talk in the Dantercepies Mountain Lounge was supported by DOLOMITES Val Gardena / Gröden.
