Dear All,
-->

Please join us at the


2 day / 1 night Mount Hermon “Peaks SnowTrek” 2010,


and snowshoe for support of the water mills museum in Shebaa,


on 06 and 7 Feb 2010
 

Action in favor of Responsible Tourism:
Part of the benefits made during this day will be transferred to the municipality of Shebaa for the maintenance of the watermills museum.

This is the message that Responsible Mobilities wants to transmit to you. We need you to be aware that:

Our heritage is very valuable and has to be protected by us.
Tourism can represent economic opportunities indeed, but it has an impact too on local heritage (natural and cultural)

So let us make this impact positive with Responsible Tourism, which if well managed becomes a tool to support local initiatives and it is very hard to be implemented by Tour Operators, because it needs a lot of sacrifices.

Mutual support is needed to resist against fake short-sighted trends.
