How We Tackle Overtourism in the Dolomites

What does sustainable tourism mean?
Sustainable tourism goes beyond reducing plastic use or installing solar panels. It’s about creating a balance between protecting the environment, supporting the local economy, and enhancing community well-being. In the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, these efforts are crucial to preserving the landscape and ensuring harmonious coexistence between travelers and locals.

Overtourism in the Dolomites: A pressing challenge
The Dolomites are increasingly popular among global travelers, bringing challenges such as traffic, crowded trails, and higher emissions. At AMA Stay, we’re addressing this issue through thoughtful initiatives:

  • Encouraging off-season travel: By offering special packages in March and April, we invite guests to explore the Dolomites during quieter periods, reducing environmental strain and delivering a more authentic experience.
  • Sustainable mobility: We promote public transport for arrivals and encourage guests to use bikes or shuttles to explore the area.

The role of hotels in sustainable tourism
Hotels are pivotal in advancing responsible tourism. At AMA Stay, we focus on:

  • Local sourcing: By partnering with nearby producers, we ensure fresh, seasonal ingredients while reducing transport distances and supporting the local economy.
  • Energy efficiency: Our modern heating system minimizes environmental impact, and we constantly seek to improve sustainability.
  • A sustainable work culture: Sustainability starts within our team, with flexible schedules and opportunities for growth.

Why is sustainable travel important?
Sustainable travel is a win-win for everyone: travelers enjoy meaningful experiences, the environment is protected, and local communities thrive. At AMA Stay, we embody the philosophy „It’s a stay of mind“, giving guests the freedom to create a stay that aligns with their values and aspirations.

Our daily contribution
As Markus Promberger writes in the latest issue of AMAgazine:
"It’s not about being perfect, but about constantly working toward a more responsible tourism."

Our mission is to preserve the beauty of the Dolomites, promoting a type of tourism that respects the environment, supports local communities, and creates lasting positive impacts.
