We've been selected for this year's #climanowspotlight and we need your vote! The theme is: how can we make tourism in the Alps future-proof? At Cirkel Supply, we contribute by enabling tourists to rent instead of purchase ski clothing they only wear for a few days each year, and thus reducing waste of Switzerland's ski tourism industry.

We came across a new study in the Tourobs - Observatoire Valaisan du Tourisme newsletter that stated travellers' biggest fear in 2024 is the prospect of losing their luggage en route to their destination. Specifically, Gen Z has increased their purchase frequency of bag insurance. How do we encourage these tourists to instead fly light or take the train, and rent clothing and equipment that they don't use often? .. asking for a friend! 😉 Here is the 2024 travel insiders report from Sabre: https://lnkd.in/emmxqGas

We had the pleasure of providing Cirkel's rental service to several journalists visiting the Swiss Alps earlier this month, including Lauren Connolly from HELLO! Magazine. Lauren's low-impact trip to Verbier is detailed in the article linked below, and features tips for ski tourists including train travel from the UK to Verbier, sustainable hotels, and renting - instead of buying - a fresh outfit for their trip. Thanks Lauren for helping your readers to buy less, use more, and go explore! https://lnkd.in/eAYXmFdw Verbier Tourisme
