We could talk forever about the development of sustainable tourism….
For several years the resort of Chamonix has been one of the places in the world today which has welcomed and stimulated these new ideas.
We could do the same. To engage willingly in a move towards« sustainable tourism », giving ourselves criteria for the choices for which we must afterwards assume responsibility , every day, regarding every project…
If we don’t do this, how can we decide between the urgency of seeing a rapid return on investments and the pressing need not to kill the goose that lays the golden egg?
