n° 69 | september 2018

Once again this summer many tourists have visited the Alps. Tourism has a considerable impact on the Alpine territories, including on the protected areas. Developing a more sustainable approach to tourism is the core concern of several parks. With Destination Parks ALPARC is working on this topic to develop a joint position regarding the tourism offer of the Alpine protected areas.

Find out about this project and the other main latest achievements of the Network in this newsletter.
