Great Britain, one of the nations that for morphological and climatic reasons has the highest number of skidome in Europe, is preparing to have a new maxi structure for indoor skiing with a high-sounding name: SubZero.

The new plant, which will have a total cost of 30 million pounds, will be built in Middlesbrough, a city of about 174 thousand inhabitants located in North Yorkshire. The construction of the skidome is scheduled for the summer of 2019, while its inauguration should take place in the winter of 2020.
According to Cool Running, the company that took care of this project, SubZero will be equipped with two ski slopes, one reserved for beginners that will have a length of about 50 meters and a longer one (we speak of 165 meters) intended for more experienced skiers.
The new structure will follow the example traced by Asian skydome where next to the ski will be made other facilities for entertainment and the practice of other sports. For this reason the English plant will also have an icebar, a climbing wall, an area dedicated to indoor skydiving, some bowling alleys and a gym entirely reserved for trampolines.
A very interesting project in an area that 'North Yorkshire that unlike other places in Britain until now had no ski resort. In fact, between Scotland, England and Wales there are about fifteen structures that between skis on plastic and indoor skiing allow the British to compete in alpine skiing.

Dolomiti UNESCO, il bilancio di Banca d'Italia: +9% di pernottamenti senza consumare più territorio
Il paper di Banca d'Italia analizza gli effetti sui flussi turistici e sull'ambiente nei 4 anni successivi all'iscrizione delle Dolomiti nella lista dei Patrimoni Mondiali dell'Umanità, avvenuta nel 2009. A fronte di un incremento delle presenze, il numero di strutture turistiche non è cresciuto e quello di posti letto si è ridotto. Ai maggiori flussi turistici non si è associato né un aumento del consumo di suolo né una maggiore produzione di rifiuti, dimostrando il potenziale del riconoscimento UNESCO nel generare benefici economici locali senza compromettere la qualità ambientale, a condizione che siano in atto un efficace coordinamento istituzionale e solide garanzie normative.
