Sustainable Tourism: A Shared Responsibility

The Riviera's natural beauty and cultural heritage face real challenges. Overtourism threatens fragile ecosystems and local quality of life. Climate change impacts everything from beach erosion to wildfire risk. Water resources strain under summer demand. As visitors, we share responsibility for protecting this remarkable region.

Throughout this guide, we'll highlight sustainable choices: businesses committed to environmental protection, transportation options that reduce carbon impact, and ways to support local communities. We'll show you how responsible travel often leads to more authentic experiences—the family-run restaurant sourcing ingredients locally, the small hotel investing in solar power, the tour guide sharing deep cultural knowledge rather than superficial anecdotes.
