Editorial of October 18, 2022
What role can I play in resolving issues that affect me? This is a question that has been on my mind since I started a return to studies in management and sustainable development. A question that also resonates strongly with the entire Touriscope team, which decided to sponsor the Quebec Sustainable Tourism Symposium. Today, we are offering you a newsletter in connection with the various themes of this day, which is intended to be unifying and mobilizing: adaptation to climate change, sustainable mobility and socio-ecological transition.
A lot is being said about this transition. In my opinion, one aspect in particular has the potential to give meaning to travel and tourism activity. It is that of the necessary reconnection of humans with the natural world and with their peers.
Indeed, tourism marks a break with daily life where we move headlong. During a break, we open our eyes to be confronted with realities other than our own, which allows us to learn, if we want to. In my article on the subject, I highlight local entrepreneurs and organizations that allow this reconnection to the territory or promote it.
To paraphrase Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: when it comes to the future, it's not about predicting it, but about making it possible. And you, what future do you make possible?

Reconnecting with the territory as a response to the quest for meaning in tourism
What role can tourism play in the socio-ecological transition? In our opinion, it is one of the tools to be mobilized to reconnect human beings with the territory and its inhabitants. Indeed, it allows you to open your eyes by setting foot elsewhere, to open up to others through encounters, learning and information. Let's start with a definition of transition and continue with 6 levers that tourism organizations have at their disposal to promote reconnection. Click here to continue reading the complete article.

A monitoring board on climate change adaptation
The Laurentides Living Lab takes care of your watch on the subject of adaptation to climate change. A subject that should become one of the main concerns of managers, since the impacts are already being felt. The changing climate is affecting risk management, operating costs as well as the revenues of tourism businesses. Add the board to your favorites, so you can go back to it regularly!
Sustainable mobility solutions to be implemented now
Today, it is imperative to focus on sustainable mobility solutions. Doing your part in the fight against climate change is not the only reason. Indeed, being accessible by a greater diversity of modes of transport is a proven lever of attractiveness for the workforce, and for customers too! Here is a complete guide to implementing various measures, including step-by-step implementation steps.

Mountain plan: a sustainable development and climate adaptation project
Last April, the Government of Quebec announced an investment in the mountain plan, which aims to focus “on the development or consolidation of a four-season tourist offer; the strengthening of local supply chains and the promotion of Quebec products; the collaboration of all territorial actors; and the adoption of responsible and sustainable practices by businesses.”
Touriscope is currently carrying out a diagnosis and recommendations for one of the 9 ATRs concerned. An exciting project as we like them!
