Valencia has been chosen as the new European headquarters of the Tourism Visioneer Observatory, a pioneering initiative in the fight against tourismphobia. This observatory, led by Dr. Fernando Molina Pons, will focus on analysing and proposing innovative solutions to the challenges facing the tourism industry globally, especially those related to tourism overcrowding and its adverse effects on local communities.

The Tourism Visioneer Observatory will be officially launched on 12 September in Valencia, a city that has proven to be a benchmark in the implementation of sustainable and regenerative tourism policies. This event coincides with the launch of the first Regenerative and Circular Tourism Intelligence System (SIT RC), developed by a multidisciplinary team under the supervision of Dr. Molina. This system will provide methodological and technical tools to help tourism destinations mitigate the negative impacts of tourism through sustainable and positive impact planning.
