YEAR OF MOUNTAINS AND ENVIRONMENT - FRIENDLY TOURISM
2002
The UN has proclaimed 2002 as the Year of Mountains and Environment
- Friendly Tourism.
It took a long time before people became aware of the importance
of pure mountain streams as a source of potable water. They has
been putting up buildings in the mountains, damaging and polluting
the sources. One example : mountain holiday resorts have been constructed,
largely in the Alps, with capacities for several thousand tourists.
More and more people have become aware of this pollution and the
danger it poses to nature. A movement for the protection of the
mountainous regions has been created. Along with various non-governmental
organisations, it has begun lobbying the governments and parliaments
in the Alpine countries. Many activities have been launched. Fori
instance, many roads winding through the Alpine valleys have been
closed to motor and bicycle traffic. In some of the areas, traditonal
cars have been replaced with electromobiles, etc...
Examples like these and their pathway to success, or initial efforts
and obstacles, could be shown in reports in conjunction with an
international TV project to be called "The Symbiosis of Mountains
and Tourists - 2002". A detailed synopsis is available.
RTV Slo proposes running the project from June 2002 to the end
of June 2003.
The project was presented in the copro workshops at the CR conference
in Kosice.
