The Monaco
Government Tourist Authority is currently reflecting on the Responsible Tourism
and is writing a White Paper to develop a strategy in line with the UN
Sustainable Development Goals and as the Principality's Energy Transition
objectives.
As a strongly committed destination, the Principality
of Monaco pursues an environmental policy with the objective of reducing its
greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 (based on the figures for 1990) and
achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
To achieve this ambitious goal, the Government, but
also private actors and all individuals are invited to act.
In 2017, the White Paper published by the
"Mission for the Energy Transition" made it possible to put in place
concrete measures to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
The tourism sector follows Government policy and works
on various solutions to reduce its impact. Most hotels have environmental
certifications, most restaurants offer local, organic and seasonal products and
initiatives against food waste are being carried out.
Many soft mobility and intermodal solutions are
offered to visitors and biodiversity is highlighted.
At
the Monaco Tourism and Convention Authority, for more than ten years we have
been accompanying and supporting the actors of the Destination in a process of
continuous improvement. Furthermore, we have been working on various programs
with the help of international organizations (Organization World of Tourism,
European Travel Council, GDS Index…).
Considering
the importance of sustainability in solving our multiple world crises, the
Destination is keen on offering its customers a responsible and virtuous offer.
This has lead us to reflect on the development of a Tourism strategy in line
with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and as the Principality's Energy
Transition objectives.
Today, with your contribution, we are building the
Tourism of tomorrow.
We are currently in the midst of writing our Responsible
Tourism White Paper; this will help us go further in our sustainability
commitment.
THE WHITE PAPER PHASES
Phase 1 (in progress) : Surveying
Because we need to get everyone's opinion in order to
establish an holistic strategy, a questionnaire is distributed to tourism
stakeholders but also to visitors and residents.
Have you visited or
are going to visit the Principality, do you live here…? Build the Tourism of
tomorrow with us by answering this questionnaire:
Phase 2 :
Organisation of an online workshop
Phase 3 : Results analysis
Phase 4 : Collaborative writing of the White
Paper thanks to the survey results and solutions brainstormed during the
workshop
Phase 5 : Presentation of
the White Paper and unveiling of the department strategy
To carry out this project, the
Tourism and Convention Auhtority, supported by the Mission for the Energy
Transition, commissioned the specialist firm François-Tourisme-Consultants.
