In Tolmezzo (Udine, north Italy), a few kilometers from the Forni di Sopra Alpine Pearl, a free workshop dedicated to sustainable hospitality and the new opportunities offered by electric mobility will take place on Tuesday April, 16th. The training will be focused on charging infrastructure for Electric Vehicles. The workshop will also offer ideas on how to promote your accommodation in a green way, how to innovate your place and how attract more and more tourists interested in sustainable tourism. Organized by Ecobnb, the community of sustainable tourism, together with Alpine Pearls, a consortium of municipalities that promote soft mobility between the Alps, in the context of the European project E-MOTICON, the event is free and open to all. The training is mainly aimed at accommodation facilities (hotels, BnBs, etc.) that want to innovate, improving their competitiveness, promoting sustainable mobility and offering electric car charging services.
In addition to offering a complete guide on the topic of sustainable tourist hospitality, the training meeting is aimed at deepening the issue of electric mobility and its growing importance in the tourism sector. What aspects need to be considered when implementing charging facilities for electric cars? What technical advice to follow (from load management, to costs, from building permits, to billing for top-ups)? What are the funding opportunities? These are just some of the questions that will find a targeted answer during the training in Udine.
The event is proposed as a detailed guide to the installation of refills for electric cars, enriched with practical advice, recommendations and useful information. Thanks to the comparison between the participants it will be possible to deepen the advantages of the implementation of charging stations in accommodation facilities, and to analyze some good practices in the field of eco-sustainable hospitality.
When: Tuesday, April 16, 2019 from 10.00 am to 13.00 pm
Where: Tolmezzo, Museo Carnico di Tolmezzo (via della Vittoria, 2)

eMOTICON: Electric Mobility in the Alps
The training activity is organized in the context of E-MOTICON (e-Mobility Transnational strategy for an Interoperable Community and Networking in the Alpine Space), project co-financed by the European Union (via Interreg Alpine Space).
The European project involves 15 partners from the “Alpine Region”: Italy, Austria, France, Germany and Slovenia. The project, which lasts 30 months, also involves 40 observers, plus different stakeholders.
The main objective of the eMOTICON project is to sensibilize on the theme of sustainable mobility and on the growing importance of electric mobility within the field of tourism, providing a transnational strategy for the use of electric vehicles and charging points. The project involves the implementation of charging points for electric vehicles with public access helping to increase options for low-carbon mobility between the Alps.
