The region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (PACA) is well known for its breathtaking landscapes, sunny climate and cultural richness. But how will these iconic characteristics evolve by 2050? Faced with growing environmental challenges and an ever-increasing number of tourists, the region is considering several innovative scenarios to transform its sector sightseeing.

- Territorial cooperation: In this scenario, participatory governance becomes the norm. Local stakeholders, from tourism to producers, come together to promote a reality where the local economy fully benefits from the benefits of stays, while investing in sustainable solutions.
- Green technologies: The integration of new technologies to optimize energy efficiency is the key to this model. The transition will be made through digital and energy innovations, allowing visitors to enjoy qualitative experiences while minimizing their ecological footprint.
- Restorative bet: This scenario explores technological solutions to combat environmental crises, while promising economic progress. The emphasis is on redesigning local ecosystems, seeking to restore habitats while developing the infrastructure necessary for tourism.
Towards a reinvented tourism #
In 2050, the way of traveling and enjoying the region’s attractions will have radically changed. Here are some key elements that should mark this transformation:
- Soft mobility: Infrastructure will be redeveloped to promote active mobility, by promoting safe cycle paths and free public transport for all.
- Awareness of biodiversity: Attracting visitors to connect with nature through educational activities focused on the environment, the region will offer more conscious and respectful tourism.
