European Expert Conference
and European Contest:
"Environmentally Friendly Travelling in Europe.
Challenges and Innovations Facing
Environment, Transport and Tourism"
Vienna, 30 and 31 January, 2006
Within the context of the Austrian EU Presidency, a European
expert conference will be mounted in Vienna by the Federal
Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water
Management, the Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation
and Technology and the Federal Ministry of Economics and
Labour.
The conference will, inter alia, follow up the findings
gained through innovative European projects, such as
Alps Mobility II – Alpine Pearls, Alpine Awareness,
Mobilalp, MoSeTo (environmentally sound transport and
tourism in sensitive regions, Lake Neusiedel, Fertö-Tó
region), targeted at the interfaces between environment,
transport and tourism. The focus of this exercise will
be on the transferability of analyses, the transfer
of know-how and the development of stakeholder-oriented
activities.
The above-mentioned, innovative European projects are
contributions to the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol
and the Alpine Convention and they are milestones along
the road to sustainable regional development. They also
generate value added in the regions and destinations
– thanks, among other things, to their “gentle
mobility” USP
