The Tourist Office is working to bring a greener touch to its visitors’ holidays through awareness campaigns and environmental initiatives. Here are our tips and practical information for a stay that is “as responsible as possible”.

Éditions
& informations

Since 2016, the Tourist Office has been offering comprehensive information on the environment, illustrated by themes such as ‘Eco friendly holidays’ . The aim of this initiative is to raise visitors’ awareness of environmental issues, including fire risks and restrictions on access to forest areas. Management of the beach weather forecast, available on the website in July and August. Finally, a wide range of documentation on sorting, recycling and eco-responsible behaviour is distributed in partnership with the Communauté de communes to help holidaymakers adopt a sustainable approach.

Eco-events and promoting the region :

The year 2023 marked a turning point for the promotion of local treasures through initiatives such as the “Richesses Croisiennes” festival, the “Soirée des étoiles” event, Posidonia Day, and “Des Chefs dans les Vignes.” These eco-events, organized by the Tourist Office, aim to raise public awareness of marine and terrestrial biodiversity. Audio guides were also created in 2023 to enhance the visitor experience.

In short, since 2017, a partnership with the Port-Cros National Park has enabled the development of guided themed walks, the creation of a marine trail, and the awarding of the “Esprit Parc national” (National Park Spirit) label to the guided sessions. An exhibition dedicated to the marine protected area, organized in 2023, highlighted the need to preserve these fragile ecosystems. In 2022, the Tourist Office signed the Act 4 Posidonia charter. For several years, it has also participated in the Sustainable Development Days, initiated by the local authority’s environmental department.
