“Stop overtourism with IDM money”

XR emphasizes that “the scientific community estimates that theeight percent of all global CO2 emissions are due to tourismbut considering the data published by Eurac and by IDM itself, the percentage would be higher in South Tyrol”. Despite this “the Province continues to finance IDM marketing campaigns with public moneywhich markets the product all over the world destination South Tyrol as a consumer good”. Successful marketing “that brings more and more people from all over the world to the Dolomites. There are those who come just taking a selfie for social media“. For Extinction Rebellion the tourist system would cause “a disproportionate increase in the cost of livingl’traffic increase and the cementation of natural places” and would enjoy favoritism: “A case in point was seen during the 2023 drought, when restrictions on the use of drinking water did not apply to accommodation facilities and their swimming pools. Meanwhile, public transport continues to become less and less reliable for those who live and work in South Tyrol, while tourists receive discounts and rock-bottom prices“.
