Faced with an unprecedented ecological emergency, the transition towards sustainable economic models is essential. AVITEM is working to support this transformation in two key sectors: tourism and the circular economy<\/strong>, in order to decarbonise economic activities and reduce their environmental footprint. <\/p>

The Mediterranean, which welcomed 650 million visitors in 2025, is a major tourist destination, but also one of the regions most exposed to climate disruption. As the global leader in ecotourism with a 39% market share, Europe must now combine attractiveness with the preservation of its ecosystems to safeguard its economic model. <\/p>

At the same time, the repair sector in Europe is showing encouraging signs: \u20ac16 billion in turnover and 520,000 jobs created in 2026, proving the growth of the circular economy. However, food waste remains a major challenge: 62 million tonnes of waste (132 kg per capita), costing \u20ac135 billion and accounting for 17% of the sector\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
