Climate change forces Tegernsee to new tourism strategies!

In a today's technical discussion on the subject of "Tourism in Climate Change", which was organized by the Greens local associations in Schliersee and Tegernseer Tal in the Tegernseer Hof, citizens, scientists and tourismists discussed the changeable framework for tourism in the Alpine region. At this meeting, Ernst Rauch, the chief climatologist at Munich Re, described the disturbing forecasts over the temperature rise of up to 2.6 degrees, the increase in the heat days and the decreasing snow days in Bavaria. The participants warned of the ever more frequent extreme weather events such as fall floods and the associated challenges for the tourism industry. According to Merkur of greenhouse gas emissions.

Professor Jürgen Schmude from the Bavarian Center for Tourism said that the winter season is not lost, but will change significantly. Forecasts indicate that the optimal skiing days and the ski season from December/January after February/March are postponed. By 2050, only three to five ski lifts could be economically profitable in Bavaria. The focus must therefore be on climate-neutral snow experiences in order to counteract the challenges of the changing climate.

future prospects and adaptation measures

However,

Schmude also sees opportunities in the trend towards outdoor vacation that could be offered all year round. In order to remain attractive for tourism in the future, the implementation of adaptation measures is of crucial importance. Here, a comprehensive climate information system is being developed that represents climatic changes and shows future climate scenarios. A guide for destination managers offers strategic approaches to adapt to the climatic changes.

Overall, there is an urgent need to contribute to the reduction of climate change and to adapt to it. Tourism causes an estimated 5–8 % of global greenhouse gas emissions and is therefore part of the problem, but also part of the solution. A coordinated procedure that takes into account the ecological advantages and disadvantages, socio-economic aspects and possible implementation obstacles is essential to reduce vulnerability to the consequences of climate change.
