Summer breeze instead of winter blues? In May 2009 the department of tourism at Munich University of Applied Sciences conducted an expert hearing with workshops that served to kick off the EU ClimAlpTour project. About 70 experts from the insurance and finance sector, natural landscape management, NGOs and tourism experienced three top-class lecturers and productive workshops. The hearing showed how climate change is influencing the alpine region and that it can even give wings to innovations. Now the final report is available in English and German.
