THE MOTIVATION
Mobility in tourism and leisure is not sustainable
• ~ 5% of the world`s total CO2-emissions are caused by tourism
• 50 % -75 % of environmental impacts of tourism are caused by transport: air pollutants, noise, green house gas emissions, land take, damage of landscape and villages (MuSTT Study of EC)
• Tourism travels show high peaks and concentrations of transport and environmental impacts
• Car and air travel are the major source of environmental pollutants and health risks and external costs
33
THE CHALLENGE
• Lack of sustainable mobility services like public transportation or cycling
• Weak quality of services• Lack of information and
cooperation
• High natural and cultural potentials in promising European destinations
44

• 3: To reduce emissions of transport-related greenhouse gases, air pollutants and noise and
• 4: To promote policies and actions conducive to healthy and safe modes of transport.
