    [environmental_description] => Le patrimoine naturel de la ville de Marseille est unique. Sur les 10 000 hectares de nature protégée que compte le territoire marseillais, on recense 1 000 hectares d’espaces verts urbains et 9 000 hectares d’espaces naturels situés en périphérie de la ville.

Engagée depuis plus d’une décennie dans la préservation de l’environnement et dans un contexte de transition écologique.

Because of the outstanding approach taken by the municipality that combines sustainable development and biodiversity conservation, Marseille has been chosen to host the World Conservation Congress: 10,000 delegates from 180 countries, 11-19 June 2020. Marseille is 35% natural area, which is very rare in France. Some of this is protected by the Calanques National Park, the only National park in Europe with continental, marine and peri-urban areas, tucked in between a large metropolis and a natural environment. The bidding process has helped to generate a collective will to get on with long term work on the preservation of nature.

    [supplier_description] => We are committed to increasing the number of hotels with green certification and the financially support them to obtain a “green key” certification.
The Aix Marseille Provence Convention Bureau has set up a unique partnership in France with the Calanques National Park and offers convention organizers the opportunity to offset their carbon footprint by collecting a sum from participants that will be donated to the Park's foundation. This amount will contribute to the preservation of the park's fauna and flora and will allow the organizer to benefit from a tax exemption.

Dans notre stratégie touristique, nous avons prévu d’inclure, plus que jamais, le développement durable au cœur de nos différentes missions et opérations pour promouvoir Marseille auprès des touristes français et étrangers.
Trois actions fortes sont déjà engagées :
La programme de soutien à la labellisation Clef Verte des hébergeurs marseillais (depuis début 2019) : 9 nouveaux hôteliers labellisés pour Marseille en 2020, ce qui est un record national. Ce programme se poursuit jusqu’en 2024.

La démarche de certification Iso 20 121 de l’OT. Cette norme concerne le secteur événementiel mais aussi nos actions BtoB et BtoC qui doivent être éco-responsables et tendre à limiter leur empreinte carbone. Tous les services de l’office de tourisme seront impactés, aussi bien dans leurs gestes quotidiens que dans leurs opérations de promotion et d’accueil. 

Notre entrée dans le GDS Index, un classement des bonnes pratiques via un %, il s’agit d’une stratégie de destination puisque les transports, l’aéroport, les prestataires touristiques … sont inclus dans cette démarche.

Nous souhaitons d’ores et déjà associer tous nos partenaires sur ces enjeux spécifiques de tourisme durable !

En valorisant vos démarches éco-responsables, dans le cadre de votre activité, sur nos supports de promotion.

Chaque action est importante ! Les labels et certifications bien sûr, mais aussi toutes les procédures, les chartes, les achats, les actions citoyennes, la promotion … en faveur du développement durable.

Les mesures environnementales > recyclage, réduction de la consommation énergétique, réduction des produits toxiques, limiter les émissions de gaz à effet de serre... 
Les mesures sociales > qualité de vie au travail, ancrage territorial, égalité hommes/femmes, formation des collaborateurs... 
Les mesures économiques > achat responsable, soutient de l’économie locale, transparence auprès des clients ...
