WHY DO THE CITY/TOWN, REGION AND
COUNTRY WISH TO HOST THE FIS WORLD
SKI CHAMPIONSHIPS?
The reasons behind Cortina and Italy's ambition
to host the World Ski Championships are primarily
to do with wanting to boost the development of
winter sports on an international level by organising
an event which is highly technical from a sporting
point of view and a great thrill for audiences.
Specifically Cortina d'Ampezzo intends to take
advantage of the event to:
Pursue its policy of modernising and improving

its services and infrastructure to bring them
into line with the standards required by FIS.
Cortinas aim is to give a new boost to both
winter and summer tourism and re-position
Cortinas destination brand;
Bring to public attention the natural landscape
attractions of our area as a UNESCO World
heritage site in the whole world and showing
off both Cortinas hospitality and Cortinas
local traditions;
Create the potential to increase job
opportunities for future generations and use
the event to form a new management class.
The Veneto Region intends to use the World Ski

Championships as an international showcase for
FONDAZIONE CORTINA 2021 CANDIDACY DOSSIER
the top class attractions it offers, presenting

Cortina and the Veneto mountains as a top
international destination for skiing and outdoor
activities and, at the same time, promoting
its extraordinary cultural, food and wine and
entrepreneurial heritage. Lastly, CONI and the
Italian Winter Sports Federation intend to
contribute to the development and growth of
the sports sponsored and use the event as the
driving force behind a growth in membership
and investments in top level sporting activities.

PROVIDE A BRIEF, GENERAL DESCRIPTION
OF CITY/TOWN, REGION, ITS LOCATION AND
CHARACTERISTICS AND ILLUSTRATE THE
SKI-TRADITION AND INTEREST IN SKIING
LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY.
Cortina d'Ampezzo is in the Alps in the Veneto
Region in northern Italy near the border with
Austria. Nestled into a basin at 1.224 m.s.l and
surrounded by some of the most beautiful
mountains in the world - the Ampezzo Dolomites
- Cortina is much appreciated for its extraordinary
range of colours and shapes and known as the
Queen of the Dolomites. Settled since ancient times
for its favourable position and land conformation,
its historical roots go back to the alternate
domination of Habsburg and Italian cultures.
The influence of Ladin culture, to which Cortina
P 6
and its neighbouring valleys has historic bonds,

is strong. Currently 5.000 people live in Cortina.
The first tourists discovered the town at the end
of the nineteenth century and during the twentieth
century it was transformed from a mainly summer
to predominantly winter destination in particular
as a result of the 1956 Olympics which were
the first to be broadcast the world over on TV
and brought it international fame.
Today Cortina's name is linked to its majestic
natural beauties and culture and the charm
of its visitors and the range of tourist facilities it
offers.On the 29th of June 2009 Cortina and the
Dolomites were made a UNESCO World heritage
site. Cortina is part of Dolomiti Superski, one of the
largest and most famous ski areas in the world and
tens of thousands of skiers assisted by 600 ski
instructors visit annually. It is also the only Italian
member of Best of the Alps which brings together
some of the most prestigious tourist destinations
in the Alps. Every year since 1993, Cortina has
hosted the women's Ski World Cup.
Sports have always been very popular in the
community and more than 30 sports clubs currently
operate in the area. The most important is currently
Sci Club Cortina which was set up in 1903, one
of the oldest clubs in the Alps. Champions of the
calibre of Eugenio Monti (2 Olympic gold medals
in bobsleigh) and Kristian Ghedina (13 World Cup
victories) grew up here. Sci Club Cortina has 500
members today and 120 of these are competitive
athletes. On the national level, FISI has around
75.000 members of whom 12.000 are in the
Veneto region (split into 190 clubs) which
shows the great interest in winter sports.

Road access
DESCRIBE THE TRANSPORT SYSTEM

GIVING ACCESS BY AIR, ROAD AND RAIL.
Air travel
The Venice Airport system, which includes

Venice (150 kms away) and Treviso (140 kms
away) airports, registered a total of 10.700.000
passengers in 2014 and confirmed its wellestablished position as Italy's third-busiest
airport system after Rome and Milan.
There are more than 1.000 weekly scheduled
flights for the main domestic (Rome, Milan,
Naples, etc.), European (Amsterdam, Frankfurt,
London, Madrid, Munich, Paris, Zurich, etc.) and
intercontinental destinations (Chicago, Dubai,
New York, Toronto, etc.). The addition of new
destinations over the last years has further
enhanced Venices links to the rest of the world.
During the high summer and winter seasons
a regular shuttle bus service connects the
Venice Airport System to Cortina dAmpezzo.
Renovation work on Cortinas heliport (just 5 kms
away from the city centre) are underway: Venice
Marco Polo airport is just 35 minutes flight away.
Once work has been completed daily passenger
flights will be available.
Annex 3.1: airport system map
From northern Europe the route to Cortina

dAmpezzo is along the A22 Brenner motorway
(from Innsbruck to Modena) coming off at
Bressanone which is about 90 kms from Cortina.
From here the journey continues through the
Pusteria valley to Dobbiaco and on to Cortina
dAmpezzo and takes about 80 minutes.
From the south of Italy the route to Cortina
dAmpezzo is along the A27 motorway (Venice
to Belluno). The last 60 kms are on the Alemagna
road through Longarone and the Cadore valley,
an hours journey.
Lastly, additional routes come in from the west
on the famous and highly panoramic Dolomiti
road (Pordoi and Falzarego passes) and from
the east over the Tre Croci and Mauria passes
(not far from the A23 motorway linking Udine
with Klagenfurt).The A22, A23 and A27 motorways
link southwards into the main A4 motorway
from Trieste to Turin on an east-west axis
through Venice, Verona and Milan.
Rail access
There are two important railway stations near

Cortina: 30 kms to the south in Calalzo di Cadore
on the Italian rail network and 30 kms to the north,
in Dobbiaco, 15 kms from the Austrian border,
on the northern and eastern European railway
P 12
networks. The journey from Padova or Venice to

Calalzo takes approximately two and a half hours
and frequent connections are available from
both towns to the main Italian cities of Milan and
Rome as well as European cities such as Geneva,
Munich, Paris and Vienna. There are regular daily
connections between Dobbiaco and the Brenner
pass for those coming from the north-west and
with Lienz to the east. The Lienz-Bolzano railway
was completely modernised and equipped with
modern, comfortable, high quality trains in 2009.

CONCEPT FOR SPECTATOR AND VISITORS,
NOTABLY PUBLIC TRANSPORT, PARK
AND RIDE LOCATIONS, WALKING ROUTES.
A number of park-and-ride lots will be established
around town in order to facilitate incoming
spectator traffic from all directions. Private vehicles
are not allowed in the vicinity of the competition
venues. Spectators will, instead, have the option
of riding a bus, a cable car or a ski lift to the
competition venues with a short walk through
a sponsor village to reach the viewing areas.
A walking route from town centre is also available.
The LOC will strongly promote use of public
transport systems for spectators and visitors
both from surrounding towns and regions as well
as within Cortina dAmpezzo, e.g. through free
access to public busses. There is also ample
access for spectators to ski into viewing areas
both along the courses as well as to the finish area.
The combination of busses, lifts and walking and
skiing routes provide efficient means for spectator
ingress and egress to the various venues.
Cortina d'Ampezzo's ski lift companies hereby

confirm that they will fully co-operate with the
World Championships, its test events and other
uses connected with it.

Snow Making Capacity
Please provide details of the snow-making

capacity on the competition courses/hills
The races for the Championships will be hosted

in 2 different areas, with a distance of 1 km from
each other: Tofana area and Drusci area.
The Tofana's area will host the speed events
and giant slalom both men's and ladies and the

Team event. Tofana has 2 different slopes, called
Vertigine Bianca and Olympia delle Tofane, that will
finish in a unique arrival area in Rumerlo, in front of
the existing Caminetto restaurant. This new finish
area is not the same as the World cup: it is 50m
above, it allows the spectators a better view of the
races, that will finish in front of the grandstands.
This area will be reached by foot from the collecting
point of Ronzuos (terminal for the shuttles), from
the top station of the Socrepes chairlift, walking
through a sponsor village (not more than 600m
by foot) and from the intermediate station of the
new Col Druscis telemix (about 1,2km).
The Olympia delle Tofane slope is the historic
track of the 1956 Olympic Games, and it is used
for the Ladies World cup since 23 years; it was
continuously upgraded in the last years, but it will
be renovated for the safety equipment, widened
in some points and cabled long all its length. This
slope will host the ladies' competition (DH, SG, GS).
The Vertigine Bianca slope will be track connecting
4 existing slopes (Valon di Pomedes, Vertigine,
Canalone e Pale di Rumerlo), with short new
sections. The starting area is 60m above to the
ladies starting area, at an altitude of 2.395 meters.
The athletes can reach the starting area with a new
lift that will be built for the use and removed after
the Championships. The Cortina 2021 Committee
believes it has designed an exhilarating slope
P 21
in a uniquely beautiful panorama together with FIS

technicians starting from the base of the Tofana
rocks as far as the Rumerlo finish. It will have three
jumps of considerable length, one strongly inclined
on the diagonal, medium-high gradients, a higher
speed area and the final part visible from the finish
area, a combination which will definitely get the
audience involved. This slope will host the mens'
competition (DH, SG, GS).
The Nations Team Event will take place on the finish
section of the Vertigine slope; it is called Pale
di Rumerlo and it is perfect for this competition:
60m width, 100m length: the spectators can view
all the race in front of them. Grandstands along the
track will be installed on both slopes in order to
maximise the spectators involvement; moreover,
the whole racing area will be covered by WIFI
facilities for apps and digital services dedicated to
the Championships.
During the event, digital and technology devices
and facilities will be available in order to create
unique moments for the public and to support
organisation management. Nowadays, digital
is a sector growing fast, new technologies are
entering the market and are ready to be adopted
by the consumers. During years previous to Cortina
2021, the organisation will have time to plan and
build experiences based on the most advanced
technologies taking into account behaviours of
youth audience.
The existing A of Col Drusci slope will host the
slalom races both men's and ladies: this is the
original course where Toni Sailer won his second
gold medal during the 1956 Olympic Games.
The slope will be widened to allow for more variety
in course setting; a new finish area will be created,
with the necessary surfaces for all the services and
facilities. The old chairlift and the existing cable
car will be removed and substituted by a new lift
(telemix), built on the same line of the cable car, but
with an intermediate station near the finish area of
the SL. Also the access road will be moved down
and widened to facilitate the traffic.
Finally, a new skiway both for skiers than for
pedestrian will be created to link the two finish
areas of Tofana and Drusci (length: about 1.200m).
In the Drusci area there will be also the warm up
slope for the athletes: it is the B slope, that will
have some upgrading and widening to guarantee
the requested standard for safe training/warm up.

For team training, there are many slopes available in
a radius of 15 km from Cortina in a maximum of 20
minutes by car: all of them can guarantee excellent
artificial snow conditions. At least one slope for
each training area will be closed to the public and
will dedicated for training. The test area will
be near the race slope, in the Ronzuos area.
Annex 6.1.6: details of the training slopes
The availability of the slopes and ski lifts for the
races and training has been guaranteed by the
whole Cortina ski lift consortium both for the
organisation of the trial event and for any other
skiing event.
Refer to Annex 3.6: letter from the ski lift consortium
on the use of the race/training slopes.
Concerning the snow making capacity, Cortina
2021 can guarantee that all the race and training
slopes have a 100% coverage by artificial snow,
so it is possible to have the best condition also
in winters with lack of natural snow. In particular,
for the race zone, a new basin has been built
(works finished in 2014) for 96.000 cubic metre
water; all the snow making facilities of the area
are having some upgrading works since last year.

GOALS AND PLANS. ARE THERE ALREADY
POST-CHAMPIONSHIPS EXPLOITATION PLANS?
The main aim of this bid is to plan infrastructure
and action which can bring long term benefits
to the whole Cortina community. The legacy
of the World Ski Championships has been assessed
in two aspects: infrastructure - 'visible' legacy and social impact on the resident community
- 'invisible' legacy.
As far as infrastructure is concerned no action
which impacts on the area has been considered
which is useful only for the duration of the World
Championships and which might then be difficult
to manage in the years to come. In more general
terms, the investment that the town of Cortina has
already set in motion aims at overall infrastructure
and facilities improvement in order to ensure World
Championships in line with FIS standards but more
generally speaking to improve and enhance tourism
and bring it up to excellence standards.
With this in mind, we will cooperate with a group
of representatives from the town's institutions and
economic and social forces (the Legacy Cortina
2021 Group) with the objective of planning action
which is shared by the community and in which it

can participate. To seal this working relationship,
a Memorandum of Understanding has been signed
on the basis of certain shared social, economic
and environmental concepts in order to identify
common objectives and approaches linked to the
organisation of the World Alpine Ski Championships
(see annex B - Protocollo dIntesa Cortina 2021).
The memorandum is signed by the consortium of
ski lift operators in Cortina, San Vito di Cadore and
Auronzo/Misurina, Hoteliers Association of Cortina,
the Trade Association - ASCOM Cortina, Artisans
Association of Cortina, the APPIA - BL Provincial
Association of Small Industry and Craft Industries
Cortina, the Cortina Marketing/SEAM.
Specifically, the infrastructure required by
the World Championships has been planned
according to the following logic:
for the ski slopes and lifts all work has been
studied together with FIS to ensure technical
and spectacular routes for the 2021 World
Championships with the objective of starting
with upgrading existing slopes in order to ensure
maximum tourist advantage in the future as well
as the chance to host new international events in
future (World Cup, Junior World Championships).
Management by private companies is guaranteed
and these will lease the slopes and ski lifts and
thus will not be a burden on public funds;
P 27
the access road to the race area will improve

the road system to the ski lifts but was primarily
designed to improve the quality of life of the
inhabitants of Gilardon and re-organise the
Socrepes area which will lead to improved access
to the valleys on ski lifts;
other planned infrastructure work (heliport,

Pocol/5 Torri ski lift link, hotel upgrading, new
sports facilities, new car parks, improved road
system) will all be functional to the event but will
in any case benefit the community by upgrading
and strengthening certain fundamentally
important tourist facilities;
all temporary structures will be dismantled at

the end of the events and the sites restored to
their present condition. This strategy will ensure
the acquisition of the know how required to plan
future events with similar techniques.
From a social point of view - 'invisible heritage'
the event aims to increase community

spirit and cohesion in the town and provide
new opportunities for future generations.
the new skills acquired - and this will
be true for the volunteers too
will increase medium and long term
job opportunities.
Furthermore, the World Championships
will assist Cortina and the Veneto Region
in its competitive skiing ambitions and a
significant increase in the number of members
is expected over the years after the event.
From a publicity point of view, the promotion

of the event will focus from a tourist perspective
on: (1) the area's attractions, (2) renewed facilities
linked to outdoor tourism with the objective in
this case of promoting local tourism with benefits
both before and, above all, after the event.
Lastly, from an environmental point of view,
the World Championships will strengthen the
public conscience on environment issues and
the natural world. All the legal processes followed
in the various projects will provide the maximum
guarantees of full environmental sustainability.
It follows that the event will leave only structures
built according to the most up-to-date standards
of technological and energy efficiency in the area
and use best practices on issues such as waste
disposal, water use and reductions in noise and air
pollution for the benefit of the whole community.

Volunteers
WHAT SOURCES WILL BE USED FOR

RECRUITING PERSONNEL FOR THE ABOVE
AREAS AS WELL AS VOLUNTEERS, BEARING
IN MIND ALL THE VARIOUS TASKS TO BE
UNDERTAKEN, AS WELL AS TO BE READY AS
FROM IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ELECTION?
One of Cortina's strengths is the fact that

more then 25 individuals have received specific
training for the duration of the bidding periods.
Cortina 2021 believes that this experience
is of fundamental importance in building the
foundations for the organisation of the 2021
World Championships.
The Committee has already established
procedures to inform local residents of the
opportunity to take part as volunteers by means
of local TV stations, radio, newspapers and the
school system. Cortina d'Ampezzo can count
on a great many volunteer organisations.
The local council has a database of individuals
who take part in local activities and for 2021
a project to involve those with second homes
in the area will be set up.
Cortina d'Ampezzo and nearby towns in Belluno
and Bolzano provinces are currently signing
partnership agreements on volunteering. It is
estimated that the potential catchment area
encompasses more than 20.000 people

between 18 and 75 years of age who live
less than an hour's drive away from Cortina.
New technologies and social networks will play
an important part in recruitment and, with this
in mind, we have already drawn up a guide
for volunteers which will be published on our
website to supply information on the type of
commitment we are looking for and online forms
are already available to enable those interested
to insert their CVs and get involved in the
candidacy phase in the activities and events
organised by the bidding committee. Beyond
traditional recruiting methods, the HR team
will privilege in volunteers selection the use
of specific social networks (such as Linkedin Pro)
and software as well as a deep cooperation
with Universities and student associations.
The use of apps to outline profiles and of the
recruitment system linked with universities
will help the future LOC to build up a large
database of volunteers and select the right
people for the right jobs.
Again from the point of view of recruitment, we
are signing agreements with FISI Veneto, FISI Alto
Adige, FISI Trentino and FISI Friuli in order to get
the ski clubs and Federation members involved.
Cortina 2021 will, in this way, be able to count on
more than 15.000 people, skiers and experts in the
snow of the region. Lastly, agreements are in place
with the Committees which organise the Italian
P 29
stages of the FIS World Cup. The Cortina 2021

Committee has also entered partnerships
with the most important universities near
Cortina d'Ampezzo such as Venice, Padova,
Bolzano, Innsbruck (AUT) and Kufstein (AUT)
for volunteer management purposes.
A crisis centre will be set up to deal with any

emergencies and unforeseen events although
the true challenge in this period will be managing
the large numbers of people who will come
to Cortina to watch the Championships (at
its height, around 1.200 staff and volunteers).
8.2
GIVE DETAILS OF THE PLANNED
MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE OF THE LOCAL
ORGANIZING COMMITTEE DURING THE
FOLLOWING PERIODS:
Once the World Championships have come

to an end, the Foundation Cortina 2021 will
continue to work until the next FIS conference
at which it will present its final report.
BIDDING COMMITTEE,
TRANSITION TO LOCAL ORGANIZING
COMMITTEE AFTER THE ELECTION,
12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CHAMPIONSHIPS,
3 MONTHS BEFORE THE CHAMPIONSHIPS,
DURING THE CHAMPIONSHIPS,
POST-CHAMPIONSHIPS.
The bidding committee has been replaced on

30th December 2015 by the Foundation Cortina
2021. For details, please refer to section 1.3.
In case of assignment, the Foundation Cortina

2021 will be officially the Local Organisation
Committee LOC. The organisation structure
of the Foundation Cortina 2021 is allready defined
(Please refer always to section 1.3), but it will be
reinforced in order to: (I) manage and implement
the infrastructure projects; (II) organise sport,
cultural and social events in the period 2016-2020
(III) develop a consistent and strong commercial
and marketing strategy; (IV) create momentum
for the Championships.
12 months before the Championships, the

Foundation Cortina 2021 will have completed
the preparatory phase which include the planning
and codification of all action and the setting
of a structured and detailed work schedule.
The 2020 World Cup Finals will be a test event
for the structure and efficiency of the organisation.
3 months before the event the Foundation

Cortina 2021 must be 100% operational in every
single sector of activity. It will have established,
organised and agreed every aspect of every single
sector. The entire organisational machinery to
host the Championships will be in place. The
timely planning and precise division of tasks
and functions for each unit of the organisation
should avoid organisational problems during the
World Championships and that all processes are
carried out efficiently and effectively.

Environmental Protection
and Management
10.1
DOES AN INTEGRAL ENVIRONMENTAL
CONCEPT EXIST?
WHAT ARE THE OBJECTIVES REGARDING
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY IN
THE PREPARATION CARRYING OUT AND
POST-USE (LEGACY) OF THE FIS WORLD
SKI CHAMPIONSHIPS?
Describe the bids objectives considering
environmental compatibility in developing your
region in general and ski sport in particular.
The concepts of sustainability and environmental
respect have been deeply felt by the residents of
Cortina d'Ampezzo for time immemorial. A deeply
rooted sense of civic responsibility on this theme
is thus a feature of life here. Specifically, over the
last century, the development of the town has
always respected a perfect balance between tourist
growth and the preservation of the area's essential
characteristics.
The role of the Regole d'Ampezzo is very important
in this respect. This ancient institution was founded
before the year 1000 as a consortium of Cortina's
original families for the collective management of
the forests and meadows of the town. The role of
the Regole has modified to some extent over the
centuries moving from prevalently wood cutting
activities and timber sale to its current role of
safeguarding the environment with a specific

policy of maintenance, preservation and protection
of the environment. Regole lands cannot be sold
off. If trees need to be cut down definitively (for
a ski slope for example) the same amount of
compensatory land must be found. Alongside this
institution Cortina protects its integrity with local,
provincial, regional and national town planning
procedures which regulate all developments in
detail.Cortina d'Ampezzo town council recently
adopted the PAT - a Development Plan which
fixed the objectives and sustainability conditions
for action and permitted development from the
perspective of strict environmental compatibility
criteria intended to protect the area.All action with
significant impact must follow a provincial and
regional procedure of Environmental Impact which
ensures full respect for existing norms on this issue
and any compensatory measures to mitigate the
proposed impact of the action.
The Cortina area is also subject to European
Community legislation on SIC and ZPS. Finally,
additional environmental protection is ensured
by the establishment in 1990 of the Ampezzo
Dolomites Natural Park (around 11.000 hectares in
the area to the north of Cortina) and the inclusion
of the Dolomites as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Ultimately, this guarantees that all projects and
planned action for the World Ski Championships,
both in the planning and implementation phases,
will be in accordance with strict legal controls on
P
36
environmental themes and ensures, in the final

analysis, a perfect balance between infrastructure
development requirements and the community's
primary environmental protection objectives.
On 24th January 2016, an important document
called The Cortina Winter Sport Sustainability
Charter has been agreed upon the Municipality
of Cortina, the Ministry of Environment, the
Veneto Region sport department, the Foundation
Cortina 2021, FISI, CONI, ANEF Italian Association
of ski lift owners, ANCI Association of Italian
Municipalities, the Foundation Dolomiti UNESCO,
the Association Sprecozero. This document sets
shared commitments and goals in order to identify
the best practice to respect the environment
during the organisational stage of the WSC.
Annex 10.1: document called The Cortina
Winter Sport Sustainability Charter
10.2
DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL
SITUATION DESCRIBE THE REGION BASED
ON EXISTING FACTS AND PROVIDE AN
INTERPRETATION OF THE ESSENTIAL
DATA AS THEY AFFECT ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS.
WHICH SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS INFLUENCE THE ORGANISATION
OF THE FIS WORLD SKI CHAMPIONSHIPS
IN YOUR AREA?
In accordance with point 10.1 there is a perfect
balance in the Cortina d'Ampezzo area between
urban development and environmental protection.
All existing legal norms have guaranteed the
full compatibility of development and they will
continue to do so in future. Moreover, the fact that
the majority of sites will be used only temporarily
is an important guarantee that no new permanent
structures will be built which could have a
significant impact on the Cortina area. On the
other hand, the procedures for slope creation
guarantee full respect for all the necessary
protection measures regarding eco-compatibility
and eco-sustainability.
10.3
ARE THE BASIC CONDITIONS FOR
THE BIDDING COMPATIBLE WITH LEGAL
REQUIREMENTS OR OTHER REGULATIONS.
WHICH LAWS CONCERNING THE
ENVIRONMENT HAVE TO BE OBSERVED?
INTERNATIONAL, NATIONAL, REGIONAL,
MUNICIPAL? ARE THERE ANY KNOWN OR
POTENTIAL CONFLICTS? PLEASE

PRESENT A PRECISE AND SOLID EVALUATION
OF POSSIBLE AREAS OF CONFLICT.
HAVE ALL THE REQUIRED PERMISSIONS
FOR CONSTRUCTIONS AND ALREADY
BEEN OBTAINED FROM ENVIRONMENTAL
AUTHORITIES? IF NOT WHAT STEPS STILL
NEED TO BE TAKEN.
Like every other town council, Cortina dAmpezzo
has adopted the PAT - an urban plan which has
been approved by the Veneto Region. This plan
contains the rules and guidelines for every type
of building construction and the identification of
its function. The Cortina dAmpezzo area is also
subject to special supervision by the Environmental
Ministry in order to preserve its landscape.
Respect for this process is the primary guarantee
that all action will be incorporated into a long
term development plan. The Tofana and Col
Drusci areas which will be used for the World
Championships events have been incorporated
into the Veneto Region Snow Plan. This consists
of special urban planning rules for ski resorts
which regulate the development of the slopes
and ski lifts. Legislation for new slopes primarily
evaluates their environmental impact (VIA
procedure) guaranteeing compatibility and
involving compensatory measures to mitigate
their potentially negative effects on the
environment, the area or eco-system protection.
For the Tofana areas slopes (Vertigine and
Olympia) all the permissions have been taken,
included VIA authorization; the completion of the
Environmental Impact procedure for the Drusci
slopes is expected in spring/summer 2016. It
involves an ongoing partnership between VIA
commission, Veneto region, the bidding committee,
Cortina town council and the organisations which
were set up to identify the best technical solutions
which are compatible with existing laws.
10.4
THE GOAL IS NOT TO PLAN ANY INSTALLATIONS
OR CONSTRUCTION THAT MAY AFFECT AREAS
WHICH ARE OF GREAT VALUE FOR FLORA AND
FAUNA. PLANNING IN NATIONAL PARKS OR
OTHER PROTECTED AREAS MUST BE AVOIDED.
DESCRIBE EXISTING RESERVES, BIOTOPES
OR HABITATS THAT MAY BE AFFECTED BY
THE VENUES OR ORGANIZATION OF THE
CHAMPIONSHIPS.
Part of the Cortina area is in the Natural Park of
the Ampezzo Dolomites which was set up on 22nd
March 1990 by Veneto Region Law number 21 and
P
37
encompasses an area of 11.000 hectares to the

north of Cortina dAmpezzo on the border with
Alto Adige (South Tyrol) in the heart of the Eastern
Dolomites. All building within the park is strictly
forbidden. 3 SIC areas (Sites of Community Interest
regulated by EC law 92/43/CEE) and 2 ZPS areas
(Special Protection Areas, 79/409/CC) have been
identified in the Cortina area and these are all fully
respected in development projects. The Regole
have approved all development work which falls
within their jurisdiction and set up compensatory
measures to safeguard the overall forest heritage
of the area.
10.5
ENERGY
PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE OF THE DEMAND ON
ENERGY AND THE PLANS TO MEET IT DURING
THE CHAMPIONSHIPS?
WHAT MEASURES HAVE BEEN ENVISAGED
FOR REDUCING ENERGY CONSUMPTION?
WHICH REGENERATIVE ENERGIES ARE
PLANNED TO BE USED AND HOW?
PLEASE DESCRIBE ANY SPECIAL CONCEPT
THAT HAS BEEN CREATED FOR CLIMATE
NEUTRAL CHAMPIONSHIPS?
The World Championships will require significant
quantities of energy both in the preparatory phase
and during the event specifically to create the sites,
heat buildings, make artificial snow and transport
people and goods. All this impacts on emissions.
The challenge for the LOC will be to reduce GHG
emissions to a minimum with specific energy saving
policies and a consciousness raising campaign to
increase awareness of the issue among athletes,
staff and international audiences. The choice of
partner will also give priority to those with relevant
certifications who respect environmental themes
in their productive processes.
Cortina d'Ampezzo town council is strongly
committed to this issue. In spring 2013 they
obtained recognition from Global Poker spa of
Public Green 100% which certifies comprehensive
use of energy from renewable sources.
The town council is pursuing an energy policy
designed to save and enhance renewable
and alternative energy sources. A process of
substitution and improvement of public lighting
is currently under way in order to save energy, a
number of hydro-electric energy units are being
put in, the public transport system is constantly
improved and integrated with the latest technical
solutions and they are making a considerable effort
to increase waste recycling and save water which

we see as a public good to be protected.
As far as projects closely linked to the World
Championships are concerned:
(A)
The power supply for Championships venues will
be supplied by direct connection to the power
network supplemented by temporary generators
located at the various sites. The temporary
generators will both increase the power-supply
capacity to serve the base load and provide
backup power for critical activities in the event
of an electricity power outage caused by the
power network. Generators will typically run on
diesel fuel. The Local Organisation Committee
will work with electricity providers to design an
innovative approach both to the base power-supply
capacity and the primary backup power for our key
Championships venues with a lighter environmental
footprint. New electrical distribution lines called
feeders will be installed from two different utility
power substations to ensure power reliability
and reduce the number of generators.
Some of the generators will be deployed in a 'cold
standby' role, meaning that they will be available
but will probably never need to run all at the
same time. This example of engineering innovation
will result in significant reductions in both air
pollution and the greenhouse effect.
(B)
Transport plan Cortina 2021 is planning an
efficient, reliable and accessible transport system
for the Championships which can limit polluting
emissions. This system will include sustainable
transport guidelines for mass transit, privileging
free public transport for the duration of the event
for all Championships sites, park and ride car park
initiatives for parking and acess to all sites by
public transport, privileging pedestrian access
routes to encourage 'zero impact' movements,
the upgrading of existing ski lifts to give access
to the town and limiting the use of vehicles
to get to high altitude lifts.
On a regional level, access to Cortina on free or
reduced cost (See Annex A-MPA) regional and
national public transport will be guaranteed (bus
and train) in order to encourage reduced numbers
of private vehicles.In addition to this Cortina 2021
is planning to upgrade its fleet of public transport
vehicles in order to favour the use of emission
free or limited emission vehicles where possible
P
38
(electric or hydrogen engines). All this translates

into lower fuel levels and fewer GHG emissions.
(C)
Venue planning and creation The temporary
venues Cortina 2021 will develop include
environmental improvements such as efficient
lighting and heating systems, high-quality
insulation and alternative energy sources (
such as the capture and reuse of waste heat)
to use less energy and emit fewer overall GHGs.
10.6
SUSTAINABILITY
The Cortina 2021 Committee's sustainability
project linked to the event has four main elements:
from an environmental point of view, Cortina's

strong community spirit in relation to protecting
and enhancing the environment together
with very strict legal norms on this issue are a
guarantee that all preparatory action and the
management of the event itself will respect
environmental themes;
from an economic point of view, the budget will

be subject to strict control in order to encourage
investments which have repayment plans and
cost/benefit studies with clear and certain
benefits for the host community;
from an infrastructure point of view, the project

aims to limit invasive and permanent action
in the area and favour the use of temporary
structures designed on an ad hoc basis for
the event. Permanent development work will
relate exclusively to upgrading existing and/or
modernisation and strengthening of buildings,
ski slopes and lifts with clear long term benefits
for the community above all in tourism;
from a supply point of view, priority will be given

to the use of local building materials (particularly
wood) and partnership with local companies.
Local food products will also be preferred in order
to ensure high quality raw materials and reduce
transport logistics costs.

Medical / Health Services
11.1
GIVE A GENERAL OUTLINE OF THE MEDICAL
SYSTEM CURRENTLY IN OPERATION
IN YOUR RESORT/CITY AND REGION.
All the hospitals in the area are part of the Italian
National Health System and operate within national
and international health systems in compliance
with EU directives:
The Codivilla Putti Orthopedic Institute

in Cortina dAmpezzo
Pieve di Cadore Public Hospital
30 kms from Cortina dAmpezzo
San Candido Public Hospital
San Martino Public Hospital in Belluno
All these hospitals are equipped with

technologically advanced surgery and general
medicine wards with modern digital equipment.
Codivilla Putti in Cortina dAmpezzo offers
traumatology units specialised in the treatment
of injuries due to skiing accidents and it also
specialises in the treatment of bone and joint
infections. All four hospitals are equipped with
heliports that ensure rapid transport to the main
hospitals of Bolzano, Treviso, Padova and Venice.
There are three chemists, four doctors surgeries
and eight dental surgeries in the town.
In high season a doctor is available
at all times for tourists and non-residents.
Special agreements with the local National
Health authorities are already under way
to ensure top quality service for the

duration of the Championships.
11.2
EXPLAIN HOW THE FIRST AID, TRANSPORT
AND EMERGENCY SERVICES WILL SUPPORT
THE FIS WORLD SKI CHAMPIONSHIPS.
First aid, transport and emergency services
will be organized and coordinated in accordance
with the LOC by the public service SUEM (Servizio
Urgenze ed Emergenze Mediche - medical
emergency service). SUEM headquarters are in
Pieve di Cadore, 30 kms from Cortina dAmpezzo
and 9 minutes by helicopter, but there is also an
operations room in town. A committee under the
supervision of a doctor with an adequate supply
of specialised personnel and volunteers will
guarantee medical assistance for the duration
of the Championships.
Assistance to spectators will be ensured in
all finish areas with a well equipped infirmary,
ambulances in readiness and medical staff.
The local White Cross volunteer service, together
with the SUEM, will support the committee.
Currently the White Cross has seven first aid
transport vans and a brand new command centre
in Cortina which was opened in 2011. First aid to
athletes will be carried out according to FIS rules.
In conjunction with the police the candidacy
committee are developing a safety and rescue
protocol for the competition area in order to
guarantee first aid to athletes in the shortest
possible time.

Ceremonies and Prizes
12.1
DESCRIBE THE PROPOSED VENUE FOR THE
OPENING AND THE CLOSING CEREMONIES OF
THE FIS WORLD SKI CHAMPIONSHIPS.
The opening ceremony will be held at the Olympic
Ice Stadium. This venue was chosen for logistical
reasons - the stadium can hold up to 4.000 people
indoors - and for the image which Cortina intends
to give to the World Ski Championships. As will be
specified in the next sections (see 13. Marketing
and Hospitality and 16. Advertising and Promotion)
the strategy aims to boost the resort's image
without losing sight of the importance of Cortinas
history. The atmosphere will thus be a combination
of innovation and tradition. Fitted out for the
occasion, the Olympic Stadium will be emblematic
of these values in that part of the building dates
to the 1956 Winter Olympics while the external
section and the roof are recent and architecturally
modern. The closing ceremony will be held directly
at the slopes in the finish area of the Col Drusci
A slope at the end of the last race.
can hold up to 2.500 people. This location is ideal

for engaging the whole community of Cortina
dAmpezzo as it is the very heart of Cortina. The
medal ceremony for the mens slalom event will
take place at the race finish area in conjunction
with the closing ceremony. Winner presentations
will be held in the finish area in accordance with
FIS rules and regulations.

AS WELL AS A SPONSOR AND PARTNER
EXHIBITION/FESTIVAL ARENA.
Cortina's is a very strong brand name and it is thus
attractive to partners in various trade categories.
Sponsor villages will be fitted out in the race
areas, in the grandstand area and in Corso Italia.
The latter is the most interesting in that it is
one of the most famous pedestrian streets and
shopping areas in Italy. Cortina 2021 will work
in partnership with Infront Sports & Media AG in
order to contribute to the marketing project and
give assistant to the rights holder with the aim of
selling Cortina as a high end destination. Cortina
2021 thus expects to plan not only for stands
and display space but also for brand activation
activities which will enable companies to interact
with the many Italian and international visitors.
Cortinas marketing plan, linked to the promotion
of the World Ski Championships, is expected to
include specific measures devoted to sponsors
such as competitions, geo-marketing activities and
PR activities in relation to partner (interest group)
stakeholders. The town's experience (see 16.
Advertising and promotional activities chapter) will
enable it to activate co-marketing activities in the
years leading up to the World Championships too.
Cortina hosts a great many international sporting

events which are supported by both local and
national partners:
Ladies Ski World Cup:

TV and advertising rights are held by Infront;
Dolomiti Superski is the Local Organising
Committee's partner;
World Snowboard Cross Cup:

The TV compound will be in the vicinity of the finish

area, around 400 metres below the Rumerlo finish
area and 600 meters away from the Drusci finish
area. Plans for this important site are to be drawn
up in partnership with the HB Infront. The selected
area is large enough for its purpose and convenient
for the race area, because is in the middle of the
2 finish areas, and has a surface of more than 5.000
sqm. To support in the best way the HB, two sub
TV compounds are planned in both finish area,
with a surface of about 1.000 sqm each.
All the needs of the HB Infront will be evaluated
in the planning stage, according to LOC budget
and areas availability.
The main press centre is expected to be located in
the Apollonio Stadium, just 3 minutes by foot from
Cortina town centre. The area is served by 2 car
parks (more than 200 spots available). A temporary
structure will be used. Cortina 2021 plans also 2
sub media centres in the vicinity of the two finish

areas, with a surface of about 1.000 sqm each.
The commentators' cabins is expected to be located
in the upper part of the spectator grandstands
in the finish area. The television studios will be
in temporary structures near to the finish areas.

OF THE TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY THAT MAY
BE USED AND FOR WHICH PURPOSES.
If the Ski World Championships are assigned
to Cortina, the Cortina 2021 can guarantee
infrastructural upgrading and the use of the best
technologies currently present on the market,
such as: a dedicated Cortina2021 smartphone app
realized to be a mobile infopoint for all the events
that Cortina will host during the Championships;
new technologies such as Virtual Reality Kiosk
(example) designed in co-marketing with sponsors
or fully focus on the event; Contactless Technology
and Beacons used to spread information and
potentially to manage payments.
In addition to that, the technology experience
could be expanded throughout the city and the
competition village, for example using interactive
windows information point or mobile kiosk for
charging devices. Since technology is evolving so
fast, it is foreseeable that by 2021 there will be new
digital possibilities and experiences dedicated to
our stakeholders and the organization team will
commit to take the best of these new opportunities.

The Ski Festival
15.1
PROVIDE DETAILS OF THE EVENT
PRODUCTION CONCEPT FOR THE
COMPETITIONS AND CEREMONIES.
The FIS World Ski Championships are one of the
largest sporting events in the world. It is, therefore,
of fundamental importance that the atmosphere
of the event is reflected not only during the side
events described below but also in the races
which remain the heart of the event.
For this reason, activities will be organised
involving:
fan clubs from all nations who will be offered

a series of benefits linked to hospitality and
other services with an entertainment programme
and slope activities;
schools, ski clubs and families to get the younger

generations involved with young people who ski
competitively. Our intention is to create training
(sport, journalism and marketing) in order to
increase interest in sport, skiing and events;
town guests who will include both Cortina's loyal

clients who are mainly Italian as well as foreign
tourists. Relations with the events and skiing of
these target groups will be completely different.
Cortina 2021s objective is to bring people nearer
to the event in the years leading up

to the World Championships with events
and advertising activities focusing on
the various targets and markets.
The LOC will work at the same time on different
formats of side events which will be articulated on:
day and night concerts;

lights show;
entertainment and animation for children;
targeted workshop;
social and guerriglia events
Local marketing activities are always changing,

most of all because of the technology and social
media improvements, so the LOC will create the
best strategy based on the future trends.
15.2
PLEASE GIVE DETAILS OF THE DIFFERENT
TYPES OF ACTIVITIES FORESEEN TO CREATE
A CHAMPIONSHIP ATMOSPHERE AT THE
COMPETITION SITE(S) AND IN THE RESORT/
CITY/TOWN.
In addition to the above, Cortina d'Ampezzo aims
to use the World Championships to focus on what
are called active holidays - tourism linked to sport,
well-being and nature. UNESCO's recognition
of the Dolomites as a World Heritage site will
P
49
therefore be of fundamental importance.

Cortina d'Ampezzo is an international location
and this will be emphasised as a strength
in order to bring the atmosphere of the
World Championships to the fore.
15.3
DESCRIBE THE FACILITIES THAT YOU WILL
INSTALL IN THE COMPETITION VENUE(S)
FOR THE VIPS, GUESTS AND SPECTATORS.
Specific areas and grandstands will be fitted out
for different target groups: VIPs, guests, fan clubs,
etc. The races will be made visible by a great many
large high resolution screens both outside (in the
finish area in particular) and in the refreshments
area. These can be subdivided not only according
to target group but also on the basis of the type
of cuisine and entertainment offered in them.
Cortina 2021 plans about 2.000 sqm surface for
various hospitality purposes (VIP, teams, volunteers,
spectators) in each finish area.

16.1
DESCRIBE THE COMMUNICATIONS
PLAN AND ACTIVITIES OF THE CANDIDATE
DURING THE CANDIDACY PHASE, AS
WELL AS THE OUTLINE CONCEPT OF THE
COMMUNICATIONS PLAN INCLUDING GOALS
AND TARGET GROUPS FROM AFTER THE
ELECTION UNTIL THE CHAMPIONSHIPS.
The Cortina 2021 bid can take advantage of
the fact that Cortina is running as only candidate
to think communication and promotion

as an umbrella project not only connected
with 2021 events concept but with the
whole destination. The World ski Championships
will be, in fact, a flywheel to reposition
Cortina as an international winter destination.
Important is also the fact the ski tourism
is changing and new skiing markets have
emerged. From a strategic and operational
point of view those activities have to be
concentrated and coordinated with Infront,
the marketing rights holder.

GIVE DETAILS OF THE NUMBER AND
TARGET GROUPS OF SPECTATORS THAT ARE
ESTIMATED. LIST THE POPULATION OF THE
AREA AND NEARBY TOWNS AND CITIES.
To summarise, the total flow of visitors

to the event is estimated at: 140-150.000
visitors subdivided as follows:
opening ceremony: 4.000 people

medal ceremony: 2.500 people a day (tot: 25.000)
events: 10.000-12.000 people a day (tot. 120.000)
overall presence at the races: 100.000 people
16.3
PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOCAL,
REGIONAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL
ACTIVITIES AND CAMPAIGNS TO PROMOTE
THE CHAMPIONSHIPS AND ATTRACT VISITORS
AS WELL AS TICKETING STRATEGY.
As far as estimates of the population

of neighbouring towns are concerned,
see the table below:
Cortina dAmpezzo: 6.000 residents

Valle del Boite: 4.000 residents
Valle Agordina: 2.000 residents
Belluno (town): 35.000
Total population of Belluno province: 215.000 ca.
Val Badia: 11.000 residents
Val Pusteria: 76.000 residents
Estimates of possible numbers of spectators

from areas which are further away from Cortina
d'Ampezzo are based on the following factors:
trends in tourist numbers in the resort;

geographical vicinity;
markets with the greatest interest in skiing
and in which the sport is still developing.
150.000 spectators from the following

countries have been estimated:
35% Italy
25% Austria
20% new skiing markets
15% other European countries
and Scandinavian countries
5% Overseas
Austria and Italy will account for 55% in that:
Italy is the domestic market

whilst Austria is not a primary tourist market
for Cortina (in winter) we believe that
it will be a key market because skiing
is the national sport there and it is close
to Cortina geographically.
New skiing markets will be also important

exspecially because is where Cortina will do
a lot of promotional activities in the next years.
Once the World Championships have been

assigned, provincial, regional and national level
partnerships will be of fundamental importance to
promote Cortina d'Ampezzo as the host town for
the 2021 World Ski Championships. These activities
are already under way in the candidacy phase.
In order to attract the public, a careful ticketing
strategy must be drawn up which takes account
of two elements:
revenue (ticket profitability management):

a careful estimate and evaluation of the costs
will be linked to the identification of various price
levels which will make the event sustainable
by means of yield management techniques
(assigning the right price to each target of
spectator) and, at the same time, maximising
the participation of the various targets;
commercial activities: all promotional activities
drawn up by tourist bodies at the various levels
will also involve the chance to promote and sell
tickets to the various races directly. The ticketing
policy can include free tickets for some special
categories (children, athletes of ski club, families
of volunteers).
As the Multi-Party-Agreement sets out (See

Annex A, Green World Championships Project)
those holding tickets for the Cortina 2021 World
Ski Championships events will be entitled to
free public transport for 24 hours from anywhere
in Italy to Cortina d'Ampezzo.

PLEASE ADVISE IF YOU WOULD BE READY
TO ORGANISE AN INTERNATIONAL YOUTH
CAMP AND COLLABORATE WITHIN THE
BRING CHILDREN TO THE SNOW CAMPAIGN.

a Youth Camp and get involved in the Bring
P 52
Children to the Snow campaign. From this point

of view, the candidacy committee will organise the
5th World Snow Day in 2016 in Cortina. In previous

children took part in awareness raising initiatives
on snow and mountain safety and initiatives
to get younger generations involved in the
Women's World Cup event in Cortina.
Moreover, as set out in the Multi party-Agreement
(See Annex A - World youth Championships project),
measures will be implemented to encourage
special packages for young people between the
ages of 14 and 18 - during the four-year term prior
to the Championships - as well as promotional
activities aimed at encouraging FISI membership.

Security
19.1
SUMMARISE THE ORGANISATION OF
THE SECURITY IN THE DIFFERENT AREAS,
INCLUDING THE AUTHORITIES INVOLVED.
Security will be guaranteed by the highest
level of personnel, equipment, specialised
systems and financial support. Through its
national security department the Italian
Government will draw up a specific, highly
confidential plan to guarantee the safety of
athletes, spectators, media and all the people
involved in the Championships. LOC organisational
structure will include a security department
consisting of individuals with experience in
international competitions and mass events.
Its primary function will be to facilitate planning,
integration, administration and support
of the security plan.
will be installed in selected places

to increase security levels still further.
Italian intelligence and security services
have found no security threats to the area
but they will work to:
plan intelligence activities

for the World Championships;
identify and deal with all security threats;
analyse and advise the Command Centre
for the World Championships in order
to evaluate threats and risks;
co-operate with international
intelligence agencies;
provide reliable intelligence services in such
a way as to allow for an efficient decision
making process at all World Championships
planning and activity levels.
The LOC director of security will be a National

Security Department executive to provide a single
and unified chain of command. A main operation
centre will be established by the national authority
in an appropriate building in order to coordinate all
action not only in Cortina dAmpezzo but also in the
surrounding areas. The Italian Police has already
guaranteed its full support and co-operation
during the Championships.
The command will also take care of traffic
management to avoid the risk that traffic problems
will reduce efficiency during the Championships.
The risk of fire during the Championships is low
but the LOC will work closely with the Fire Brigade
to ensure prevention and safety. During the
Championships key locations will have dedicated
fire suppression and emergency response units
located inside their secure perimeters. Additional
personnel and equipment will be employed in areas
of increased activity during the Championships.
Access to all restricted areas, including slope
access, will be filtered through dedicated check
points. If necessary stewards will be supported
either by professional security personnel or police.
The safety of the International Broadcast Centre
(IBC) will be guaranteed, in accordance with
the requests of the Host Broadcaster (HB), by
professional security personnel due to the value
of the specialised equipment. Dedicated security
will be guaranteed to the Main Press Centre (MPC),
the Main Accreditation Centre (MAC) and the
waxing rooms. Video surveillance systems

PROVIDE THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE

IN YOUR COUNTRY REGARDING IMMIGRATION
AND ENTRY VISAS.
In 1997 Italy joined the Schengen system

as the culmination of a gradual process of
adjusting to the common visa regime provided
by the Convention Implementing the Schengen
Agreement. The Shengen Convention can thus
be defined as strengthened co-operation within
the European Union. The external border has
strengthened controls in the Schengen Area
abolishing systematic controls of individuals
on the internal borders.
Admission to Italian territory through

the external borders of the Schengen
Area is only permitted to aliens who:
seek entry through a border crossing point;

are in possession of a valid passport
or equivalent recognised travel document
permitting them to cross the border;
are in possession of documents

substantiating the purpose and conditions
of the planned visit and have sufficient means
of support both for the period of the planned
visit and for their return journey to their country
of origin (or for travel in transit to a Third State).
An alien who already holds a residence permit
issued by one of the contracting parties is
exempted from this requirement.
are in possession of a valid entry

or transit visa if required;
have not been barred from entering by
an alert in the Schengen Information System;
are not considered to be a threat to
public policy, national security or the
international relations of any of the
contracting parties under Italian law
or the law of another Schengen State.
P 60
If any one of the aforementioned conditions

is not met, the alien may be denied entry
by the border authorities even if in possession
of a valid entry or transit visa. To enter, stay
in or travel through Italy aliens must be in
possession of a passport or another travel
document recognized as valid by the Italian
government.
20.3

A visa is an authorisation granted to an alien to

enter the territory of the Italian Republic or that
of the other Contracting Parties for transit or visit
purposes. It is issued on the basis of criteria related
to the preservation of good international relations
and to the protection of national security and public
order. Authority to issue visas to enter the Italian
Republic is vested in the Italian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs and its network of accredited diplomatic
and consular officers which is responsible for
ascertaining that applicants are in possession
of the requisites entitling them to obtain a visa
which is issued by the diplomatic or consular
mission with territorial jurisdiction over the place
of residence of the alien applicant.
20.4

Visas issued by our diplomatic missions and

consulates permit access to Italy and to other
Schengen States for the purposes of transit or
short visits (up to 90 days) and in this case are
known as "Schengen Visas" (USV).Similarly, a USV
issued by diplomatic missions and consulates of
other Schengen States permits access to Italy.
A long stay entry visa (more than 90 days) only
gives access to the state that issues the visa,
and the right to transit through other Schengen
countries to enter that country - in this case it is
known as a "National Visa" (NV) Given the need
to evolve gradually towards the unification of the
various national visa procedures the European
authorities have adopted various measures
including Regulation no. 539 of 15/03/2001
containing a list of the countries whose citizens are
subject to visa obligations.
GIVE DETAILS OF THE HEALTH AND

VACCINATION REGULATIONS GOVERNING
ENTRY INTO YOUR COUNTRY.
With the exception of international medical
emergencies there are no specific regulations
required to enter Italy.
PROVIDE AN UNDERTAKING FROM

THE CUSTOMS AND EXCISE AUTHORITIES
THAT IT WILL ASSIST IN DEALING WITH
THE CUSTOM AND EXCISE AUTHORITIES
REGARDING THE TEMPORARY IMPORTATION

An agreement has been signed between

the Local Organising Committee and the
customs authorities of the Italian state.
Annex 20.4: Protocollo di Intesa con
Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli
For long stays (more than 90 days) for any reason

whatsoever all foreigners must hold a visa even
if they are citizens of countries which do not
require transit or short stay visas. On the occasion
of the World Championships, as already discuss
with Cortina dAmpezzos Police Commissariat,
a specific office will be set up to speed up and
facilitate all the legal procedures necessary for
entry to Italy. The Italian Winter Sport Federation,
through the National Olympic Committee, will
activate a special procedure within the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs; all the Nations that will need an
entry VISA will receive invitation letter allowing
them to activate a procedure of urgency at their
consulates and to receive VISA in a short time.

I PREMESSA
La Federazione Internazionale dello Sci (FIS), fondata nel 1924, con sede ad Oberhofen am
Thunersee (Svizzera), ha il diritto di organizzare i Campionati del Mondo di sci alpino. Essi si sono
svolti per la prima volta nel 1931, e sono organizzati con cadenza biennale.
Fino al 1982 i Campionati del Mondo si disputavano negli anni pari ed in concomitanza dei Giochi
Olimpici invernali. Le gare olimpiche erano quindi valide anche come gare del Campionato del
Mondo.
A partire dal 1985 i Campionati del Mondo di sci alpino si sono svolti negli anni dispari al fine di
evitare la sovrapposizione con i Giochi Olimpici; sono tre le edizioni fino ad ora ospitate dallItalia
(Bormio 1985 e 2005, Sestriere 1997).
Lorganizzazione dei Campionati del Mondo di sci alpino spetta alla FIS ed regolata dalle Rules
for the organisation of FIS World Championships.
Tali regole prevedono, tra laltro, che la candidatura sia proposta da una Federazione nazionale
appartenente alla FIS, di concerto con un comitato promotore (che diverr in seguito organizzatore).
Nel caso di specie, per ledizione dei Campionati del Mondo di sci alpino che si svolgeranno
nellanno 2021, la FISI si candidata insieme alla citt di Cortina dAmpezzo.
La candidatura di Cortina 2021 stata presentata ufficialmente nel maggio 2015; il dossier di
candidatura stato presentato dal soggetto promotore di Cortina 2021, in occasione del meeting FIS
di Zurigo del 30 settembre 2015. La decisione finale per lattribuzione dei Campionati del Mondo di
sci alpino per il 2021 avverr il 9 giugno 2016 durante il 50 Congresso FIS di Cancun (MEX),
dopo una presentazione resa dalla Fondazione Cortina 2021 davanti al consiglio della FIS.
Lattribuzione dei Campionati del Mondo di sci alpino 2021 a Cortina dAmpezzo costituirebbe,
senza alcun dubbio, uno straordinario traino per lo sport italiano e per tutto il comparto della
montagna, sia in termini di investimenti che di crescita economica e turistica.
Il programma della manifestazione prevede lo svolgimento di 15 gare di sci alpino (comprese 4 gare
di qualificazione). Saranno presenti oltre 600 atleti, provenienti da circa 70 nazioni, con un seguito
di pi di 1.200 giornalisti ed un pubblico complessivamente stimato in circa 150.000 presenze. Va
da s che limpatto mediatico sarebbe enorme, con una previsione di circa 800 milioni di
telespettatori in tutto il mondo.
Lassegnazione dei Campionati del Mondo di sci alpino a Cortina genererebbe un positivo impatto
economico, mediatico e turistico, ma anche un notevole impatto sociale (tra le altre cose saranno
infatti chiamati ad operare oltre 1.200 volontari) e sportivo. Il budget operativo (al netto delle opere
pubbliche ed altri investimenti a lungo termine utili alla comunit che potranno essere realizzati in
caso di attribuzione dei predetti Campionati del Mondo) pu essere quantificato in circa massimi 50
milioni di euro.
Al fine di garantire il miglior esito del processo della candidatura e di realizzazione
dellevento stesso, tutti gli enti e le istituzioni locali, regionali e nazionali firmatari di questo
Multi-Party Agreement si impegnano sin dora a fornire il massimo sostegno politico,
economico e morale al pieno raggiungimento degli obiettivi proposti.
P 67

nordic and alpine disciplines), le autorit firmatarie del presente accordo (Governo Italiano,
Regione Veneto, Provincia di Belluno e Comune di Cortina dAmpezzo) si impegnano a collaborare
nella ricerca di una soluzione che garantisca il rispetto degli standard richiesti dalla FIS per
lorganizzazione dei Campionati del Mondo di sci.
V CORTINA 2021: PROGETTI PER CORTINA 2021

I seguenti punti sviluppano progetti condivisi tra i sottoscrittori, che concordano su alcuni interventi
in specifici ambiti ai fini del raggiungimento degli obiettivi generali.
V.1 CORTINA 2021: MONDIALI GREEN

P 69
Il progetto definito Mondiali green ha quale obiettivo la stipula di accordi che permettano:
(i) a coloro che saranno muniti di un biglietto di gara Cortina 2021, il trasporto a costo zero sui
mezzi pubblici diretti a Cortina dAmpezzo e per la durata di 24 (ventiquattro) ore da tutta Italia,
in occasione delle giornate di gara dei Campionati del Mondo;

giornalisti e i volontari) il trasporto a costo 0 (zero) verr garantito lungo tutto il periodo dei
Campionati del Mondo sui mezzi pubblici ed in tutta la Regione Veneto.
Con loccasione verr lanciato anche il progetto "Campionati del Mondo fly-in" che preveder
navette gratuite dagli aeroporti di Venezia e Treviso verso Cortina, per spettatori e media.
V.2 CORTINA 2021: MONDIALI CULTURALI
Le parti sottoscriventi condividono lidea di rendere possibile al maggior numero di persone

del biglietto in musei del Veneto per i possessori di un biglietto Cortina 2021.
Inoltre, le parti del presente Multi-Party Agreement si impegnano a mettere a disposizione dei
fondi per fornire contributi straordinari diretti a iniziative culturali (per esempio, mostre, feste,
concerti, progetti musicali e culturali, esposizioni) allestite in Veneto in occasione dei Campionati
del Mondo di Cortina 2021.
V.3 CORTINA 2021: MONDIALI PER I MEDIA
Senza dubbio i Campionati del Mondo di Cortina 2021 saranno un evento di altissimo impatto
mediatico, permettendo di mostrare Cortina, le Dolomiti, il Veneto e lItalia in tutto il mondo.
Le parti concordano che i media dovranno ottenere un trattamento particolare in occasione della
preparazione e dello svolgimento di questo evento internazionale.

I INTRODUCTION
The International Ski Federation (FIS), founded in 1924, with headquarters in Oberhofen am
Thunersee (Switzerland), organises the Alpine World Ski Championships by right. They were
organised for the first time in 1931 and are held every two years.
Until 1982, the World Championships were held on even years and at the same time as the Winter
Olympic Games. So, Olympic events were also valid as World Championships events.
Since 1985, the Alpine World Ski Championships have been held on odd years in order to avoid
overlapping with the Olympic Games. Italy has hosted three editions thus far: Bormio in 1985 and
2005, and Sestriere in 1997.
FIS is responsible for organising the Alpine World Ski Championships which are governed by the
Rules for the organisation of FIS World Championships.
These rules require that a National Federation belonging to the FIS must apply for the Championships
jointly with a bidding committee (which then becomes the organizer).
In this case, for the Alpine World Ski Championships to be held in 2021, FISI is presenting its bid in
partnership with Cortina dAmpezzo.
The Cortina 2021 bid was officially presented in May 2015, and the candidacy file presented by the
Cortina 2021 bidding entity at the FIS meeting in Zurich on 30th September 2015. The final decision
on who will host the Alpine World Ski Championships in 2021 will be taken on 9th June 2016 at the
50th FIS Congress in Cancun (MEX) following a presentation by Foundation Cortina 2021 to the FIS
council.
For Cortina dAmpezzo, hosting the 2021 Alpine World Ski Championships would undoubtedly
constitute a springboard for Italian winter sport and for the entire mountain region in terms of both
investment and economic and tourism growth.
The event calendar includes 15 Alpine ski events (including four qualifying events). Over 600 athletes
from some 70 countries will attend, along with over 1 200 journalists and an estimated 150 000
spectators. It goes without saying that the media impact of the championships would be enormous
with around 800 million television viewers around the world.
The attribution of the 2021 Alpine World Ski Championships to Cortina would have a positive
economic, tourism and media impact, as well as a considerable social (in particular, over 1 200
volunteers would be required) and sporting impact. The operations budget (net of public works and
other long-term investments useful to the community which could be made for the Championships) is
estimated at around a maximum of 50 million.
In order to ensure the best possible outcome for our candidacy process and for the holding of
the event all local, regional and national bodies and institutions hereby commit to providing
their greatest political, economic and moral support for the fulfilment of its proposed aims
through this Multi-Party-Agreement.
P 77
II GENERAL OBJECTIVES
The institutions signing this agreement share the objectives of the promotor, Foundation Cortina 2021,
and reciprocally undertake to provide their greatest support to ensure that Cortina dAmpezzo is
chosen to host the Alpine World Ski Championships in 2021.
The objectives that Cortina dAmpezzo intends to pursue are listed below:
Vision:
To revitalise Cortina dAmpezzos image at both the national and international levels as an
exceptional tourist location for the practice of winter sports
To strengthen the local economic and social fabric through sustainable development aiming to
maintain and improve employment in order to grow the population
Mission:
Foundation Cortina 2021s mission is to win the bid and organise the Alpine Ski World
Championships 2021 and promotes related sporting and infrastructure projects. Participation in the
yearly organisation of the women's Alpine Skiing World Cup is emblematic in this sense with
widespread involvement of the local population (young people in particular) in the candidacy, and the
research into ski lifts and infrastructure, projects that will benefit the entire Cortina dAmpezzo
community.
Foundation Cortina 2021 also commits, to the extent of its responsibility, to achieving and/or
supporting the following objectives:
- In sport: to relive the glory of the 1956 Olympics and demonstrate the towns ability to
organise a world-class sporting event, focussing on its high technical quality as shown by its
solid experience in tracing routes and on the beauty of the slopes.
- In tourism: to revitalise Cortinas image on the international tourism stage, improving the
quality of its hospitality services, infrastructure and road system, which are currently
inadequate to host the Alpine World Ski Championships. This is a challenge that Cortina
wants to meet successfully.
- In human resource development: to use the opportunity of organising this world-class event as
a starting point to continue hosting exceptional events, based on a young and skilled
management group able to develop and solidify its expertise through the organisation of the
World Championships.
- In promotion: to promote the areas unique environmental and landscape qualities. Cortina is a
natural park in the heart of the Dolomites, a UNESCO world heritage site. The great media
impact of this event in such a famous location will provide sponsors and institutional partners
considerable visibility.
- In the local area: to renew social cohesion and the joy of giving hospitality in order to help
visitors discover an area with a wealth of history, art and traditions, through the flavours and
3
P 78
aromas of the regional cuisine and nearby Venices refined charm, Cortina considers itself an
ideal location for the Alpine World Ski Championships.
III LOCAL MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
In order to guarantee full support for the candidacy and organisation of the Alpine World Ski
Championships in 2021, Cortinas local government, Foundation Cortina 2021 and Cortina's
economic and social partners will soon sign a memorandum of understanding establishing shared
objectives.
The memorandum of understanding is appended to this Multi-party Agreement. Its aim is to clearly
demonstrate the entire communitys full support for the organisation of the 2021 Alpine World Ski
Championships.

V CORTINA 2021: PROJECTS FOR CORTINA 2021

Below we present the projects shared by the signatories, involving action in specific areas in order to
meet their general objectives.
V.1 CORTINA 2021: GREEN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
If Cortina dAmpezzo hosts the Alpine World Ski Championships, the parties to this agreement
commit to ensuring the event is organised with a strong environmental focus. This will involve the
creation of environmentally friendly public transit, the construction of new road infrastructures and
the improvement of existing roadways in respect of the environment and of the unique Dolomite
region. Train and bus services will be increased during the World Championships.
The Green World Championships project aims to establish agreements guaranteeing that:
(i) every Cortina 2021 ticket holder receives free public transportation for 24 hours from anywhere
in Italy to Cortina dAmpezzo on World Championship event dates

4
P 79
Venice and Treviso airports to Cortina for both the public and the press.
V.2 CORTINA 2021: CULTURAL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
The parties to this agreement share the objective of providing access to the Veneto Regions cultural
sites to as many people as possible through ad hoc initiatives during the Cortina 2021 Alpine World
Ski Championships.
The Cultural World Championships project will sign agreements providing free museum admission
to all accredited individuals (e.g. journalists and volunteers) as well as a 50% discount for admission
to Veneto Region museums for all Cortina 2021 ticket holders.
Furthermore, the agreement signatories undertake to provide funds for cultural events in the Veneto
Region (e.g. exhibits, parties, concerts, musical and cultural events and exhibitions) during the Cortina
2021 Alpine World Ski Championships.
V.3
CORTINA 2021: MEDIA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
There is no doubt that the Cortina 2021 Alpine World Ski Championships will have an extremely high
media impact that will promote Cortina, the Dolomites, the Veneto Region and Italy to the world.
All of the parties agree that the media must receive special treatment during the preparation and
performance of this international event.
The parties agree that the MMW-World Championships Media Welcome is the most suitable
method of offering appropriate hospitality to the international press. The media will be offered
accommodations at reduced prices, with accommodations at a fixed price for World Championships
accredited journalists in line with FIS recommendations for World Cup events.
V.4
CORTINA 2021: WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR YOUTH
The Cortina 2021 Alpine World Ski Championships hopes to involve young people and stimulate their
interest in winter sports and the mountains.
To this end, we have created a World Championships for Youth project with week-long winter
break packages at reduced prices in Cortina and the Dolomites for young people aged 14 to 18 during
the four years leading up to the World Championships. We will also hold a campaign to increase FISI
memberships and other initiatives involving our youth.
In order to offer affordable prices, all of the parties have undertaken to contribute to involved tourism
bodies and FISI.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
CORTINA DAMPEZZO:
WORLD ALPINE SKI CHAMPIONSHIPS 2021
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT AND
GROWTH FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY
Shared strategic objectives, priorities and approaches for Cortina

d'Ampezzo town council, the Foundation Cortina 2021 and the town's
associations and economic and social units for sustainable growth for the
area and its residents in relation to the 2021 World Alpine Ski
Championships
Cortina dAmpezzo, February 2016
P 95

Memorandum of Understanding Cortina 2021
The objective of this document is the participation of the main players in Cortina's economic and
social fabric in a shared, participatory approach to the bid for, and organisation of, a great
international level event, the Cortina 2021 World Alpine Ski Championships.
This document aims to share certain objectives and approaches from the perspective of
exploring and proposing development scenarios in the valley and reflect on the evolutionary
potential which individuals, associations and firms can have in this area.
The intention is to activate innovative processes which enhance what currently exists and create
the preconditions for medium-long term growth which places the focus on concepts of economic,
social and environmental sustainability with special attention to quality of life and personal,
individual growth.
Premises
What follows are a number of premises in relation to programmatic points which will be
illustrated. They are based on concepts which were shared in previous candidacies between the
bidding committee and the town's social and economic forces on benchmarking with sports
events of a similar international level on the indications set out by FIS and, in particular, those
concerning environmental sustainability.
Economic premises:
the 2021 World Alpine Ski Championships candidacy and organisation process as an
unmissable opportunity for economic and social growth in the town;
the opportunity to take advantage of the candidacy and event preparation processes as a
moment of reflection, analysis and suggestions for new solutions in relation to the need
to reposition, improve and enhance Cortina's image and that of its prestige;
the opportunity to share and implement infrastructure projects of historic importance;
the opportunity to modernise and improve public services and make new proposals both
in favour of the local community and for visitors;
the chance to enhance and support the entrepreneurial excellence of the area.
Social premises:
the essential nature of the need for shared agreement on the project and strategies with
the resident population in the search for that strong sense of social cohesion which puts
the role of the individual into centre stage;
to use the event as a moment of growth for the collectivity, to provide new opportunities
for future generations and this with a strategy which brings all age groups into the project
with special attention to school age children
to enhance the processes which can create a widespread culture of lifestyle quality;
the opportunity to bring nearby towns and valleys into the project and thus bring new
cohesion between mountain communities.
2
P 96
Environmental premises:

to share a strong sense of environmental sensitivity in accordance with a mature awareness
that the area is both a great attraction and a primary value to be safeguarded;
the desire to plan and create a sustainable event from both environmental and economic
points of view from the starting point of the guidelines indicated by FIS in the Environmental
Guidelines for Candidates for FIS World Championships protocol.
From this perspective, we are considering the potential of certifying the process of the
organisation of the event in accordance with environmental control tools such as
'environmental certification';
the World Alpine Ski Championships as an opportunity for the promotion, enhancement and
protection of the environment and natural features of the Dolomite UNESCO World Heritage
site;
the opportunity to take advantage of the candidacy and event preparation processes to
launch innovative projects on sensitive issues such as renewable energies, respect for the
environment, the breakdown of architectural barriers, new means of communication and new
professions;
the predominant and incentivised use of wood as the raw material of choice for both
environmental upgrading and merchandising.
*
Article 1
Premises
In the interests of mutual cooperation, the signatories shall determine the action set out in the
articles which follow, to be developed within the candidacy and organisational processes of the
2021 World Alpine Ski Championships event. The premises to this Memorandum of Understanding
shall be construed as an integral part thereof.
Article 2
Undertakings in the field of urban development, infrastructure, roads and mobility
The town council of Cortina d'Ampezzo (hereafter, the Council), on agreement with the bidding
entity for the 2021 World Ski Championships candidacy, the Foundation Cortina 2021 (hereafter, the
Foundation) and the social and economic forces signing this memorandum undertakes to prepare
all useful actions required to achieve appropriate levels of quality in urban development,
infrastructure, roads and integrated mobility in order:
to ensure the organisation of the 2021 World Ski Championships according to efficiency and
environmental protection standards which are in line with the standards required by FIS - the
International Ski Federation;
to ensure adequate quality of life for the local community;
P 97
to ensure standards
of tourism which are in line with those of tourist destinations of similar

levels in the Alps.
Fields of specific intervention will be the improvement of town roads, the development of access
routes to/from Cortina, increases in parking spaces and rationalisation of public car parks, town
centre services and modernisation of the town, the maintenance and development of public
services, the removal of architectural barriers, development and consciousness raising on
environmental issues (renewable energy, water protection, waste disposal, energy saving,
promoting the use of local materials in construction, use of environmentally friendly public transport).
All action will be implemented:
in accordance with existing planning instruments and related legislation
in full respect for the concept of financial and economic sustainability in agreement and
partnership with high level government bodies (the Italian Government, the Veneto Region,
the Province of Belluno);
after being discussed and shared with the Regole d'Ampezzo and environmental groups, to
protect the area and its environment.
Examples of projects already under way at the candidacy stage are:
ACCESS ROAD PROJECT: traffic improvement studies on the access road to the Tofana ski
area (Gilardon / Pi Tofana section) and other potential variants to sections involved in the
races finish areas (Rumerlo and Col Drusci areas) or other alternative solutions that are
able to anyhow grant a functional upgrading complying with economic and environmental
requirements;
the design and building of new public car parks;
the building of the heliport/Fiames airport;
functional and architectural improvement in the town centre's squares (Piazza Pittori Fratelli
Ghedina, Piazza San Francesco, Largo Poste).
The following will be planned for the event:
upgrading, modernisation and new building of a number of public facilities to be used in the
World Championships primarily for multi function purposes (i.e., renovation of Revis
gymnasium, new swimming pool, Olympic stadium completion, climbing wall completion);
ROAD PROJECT: the study and implementation of an improved town road network taking
into account factors such as the realisation of a bigger interchange between public and
private transport and between both of these and the ski lifts;
the improvement and development of the urban fabric, with work on public lighting, the water
supply and sewage and the urban landscape.
Article 3
P 98
of ski lifts
Undertakings in the field
In agreement with the Foundation and in partnership with the Consortium of Cortina ski lifts, the
Council undertakes to support and promote the development of a rational and efficient ski lift
infrastructure so as to ensure an appropriate number of ski lifts and slopes for an international event
in line with the current demands of the winter sports market.
Specifically, the greatest possible support from the Council (both political and technical bodies) to
simplify and monitor the progress of the necessary processes for private companies will be
guaranteed allowing them to carry out modernisation and/or building of ski lifts, slopes and artificial
snow making projects in short, fixed time frames.
On the other hand, the ski lift operators Consortium undertakes to ensure compliance with
modernisation terms on out-of-date ski lifts and continue to adapt the current ski infrastructure in as
far as the economic means at its disposal permits.
Examples of projects already under way at the candidacy stage are:
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS SKI SLOPES PROJECT: planning with the consequent setting in
motion of the bureaucratic procedures required to obtain permits for the creation of World
Championships ski slopes operated by the ISTA, Tofana SPA and 5 Torri companies. The
scheduled works are: in the ISTA ski area, modernisation of the Olympia delle Tofane slope
and the modernisation/partial creation of the Vertigine slope; in the Tofana SPA ski area,
modernisation of A and B slopes on Col Drusci; in the 5 Torri ski area, the creation of a
new slope for qualification races which will remain as a legacy for Cortina sport associations
for future trainings and races;
FONDI BRANCHER PROJECT: the completion of the projects funded by the Brancher Fund
with the building of the Son dei Prade/Bai de Dones (5 Torri) cable car and safety measures
consisting of anti- avalanche structures on the Valparola, Falzarego and Giau passes by
Veneto Strade. All this will improve access to Cortina from the west (access from Val Badia,
Fodom and Agordino);
the creation by Tofana spa of a new telemix ski lift with intermediate station on Col Drusci in
substitution of the existent cableway and two chairs lift. This new route will favour the access
from the town centre to the whole Tofane ski area, restricting private cars use.
Other desirable commitments in the run up to the event will be:
the overall modernisation of the ski lifts of the Cortina ski area, in particular those which will
be affected by the event (ISTA/Tofana areas);
the modernisation of the ski area, especially with the creation and/or upgrading of the slopes
used for the training of the teams;
assessment of the potential of a ski lift base station from the centre of Cortina to the Socrepes
area in order to reduce the traffic of private vehicles from the centre of Cortina to the high
altitude car parks.
P 99
Article 4

Hospitality industry and hotel sector undertakings
In agreement with the Foundation and in partnership with the Cortina Hoteliers Association, the
Council undertakes to carry out rationalisation and enhancement of the hotel and non-hotel sector.
Specifically, all necessary action will be initiated to determine the real needs of the sector, to adjust
the availability of beds to expected tourist numbers, to streamline mechanisms for modernisation
and possible increases in size, and for the determination of any new space requirements.
All this in order to provide a hotel infrastructure which is suitable to the real needs of the tourist
resort, from both quantitative and qualitative points of view, and to create hospitality standards
which are in line with other international level tourist destinations in the Alps.
Specifically, the primary goal is to ensure all the necessary conditions to guarantee suitable
accommodation for all participants in the World Alpine Ski Championships event.
On its part, the Hoteliers Association undertakes to provide all data and studies in its possession
which are useful for an adequate identification of the quantitative and qualitative needs mentioned
above and, to this end, will provide the most accurate picture possible of the existing facilities in the
area (beds, services offered) and a projection of likely restoration and modernisation of these
structures.
Finally, all parties agree to do more work on research and development into new forms of hospitality
(integrating the non-hotel sector into the hotel sector, developing new types of hospitality such as
community hotels, short term holiday lets and bed & breakfast).
Examples of practical projects still to be implemented at the candidacy stage are:
the drawing up of an agreement that will allow the Foundation to pre-book at this stage the
rooms which will be needed during the event by means of specific agreements with individual
hotel companies;
DYNAMIC HOTEL PROJECT: study on the integration of the non-hotel category into the hotel
sector: this is essentially a matter of finding the formulas by which hotel companies can take
charge of a part of the holiday or second home infrastructure in the area encouraging a more
dynamic and profitable management of these, offering visitors some of the typical services of
the hotel sector (e.g. check-in, cleaning, laundry service, breakfast) to a target (e.g. families,
young people, media) who prefer apartment accommodation rather than hotel rooms.
Fundamental to the event will be:
CORTINA2021 HOTEL PROJECT: the upgrading of the hotel infrastructure to qualitative
parameters which are higher than present ones in accordance with the current demands of
the tourist market. From this perspective, in agreement with the Hoteliers Association, the
Foundation undertakes to try its best efforts in order to facilitate access to credit at
competitive rates for individual companies.
Article 5
P 100
Trade and Craft undertakings

In agreement with the Foundation and in partnership with ASCOM, Cortina's traders association and
APPIA (Provincial Association of Small Industry and Craft Industries) the Council undertakes to
promote measures which favour development, enhancement and growth in the commercial and
local crafts sector in order to protect the economic fabric and entrepreneurial excellence in the area.
All action will be agreed with a view to safeguarding and increasing employment in the local
community.
In commerce, reciprocally virtuous forms of cooperation to ensure global visibility during the event
will be studied (for example, agreed strategies on production and distribution of merchandising).
In the craft sector, potential strategies to enhance skills and the excellence of local companies in
non-local markets, will be implemented with special attention to international markets linked to
mountain areas.
Examples of projects to be undertaken in the medium term:
MERCHANDISING PROJECT: provision of information and/or exhibition spaces in
associated bodies with the simultaneous joint development of projects for World Alpine Ski
Championships event merchandising;
promotion of local craft excellence in local and/or international events which will involve the
Foundation;
use of wood as the raw material of choice for merchandising.
Article 6
Undertakings in the field of education, training and volunteering
In agreement with the Foundation and in partnership with voluntary, sports and cultural
associations, the Sestieri d'Ampezzo and the area's schools, the Council undertakes to promote
human resources training and development in the area.
The idea is to provide and/or improve the skills necessary to play a role in the event (both
professional and 'professionalised' volunteer roles), skills which can then be used in the local labour
market, in organising sports events or simply in local associations. Specifically, the parties agree
that joint effort is essential in the creation of a body of volunteers who will be necessary to the
management of this international event.
On the other hand, the council undertakes to support voluntary, sports and cultural associations,
recognizing them as essential to the promotion of full involvement in the local social fabric and
guaranteeing opportunities for socialisation and integration to all citizens.
In addition, the Council undertakes to support the area's schools, recognising the great importance
of the current wide-ranging school framework to ensure the training and growth of future
generations.
P 101

YOUTH AND TRAINING PROJECT: launching training projects in schools in partnership
with educational institutions, trade associations and sports and cultural associations to
create a generation of new specialised volunteers in a range of fields, for the management
of sport and tourist events in Cortina;
TOURIST START-UP PROJECT: launching competitions or forms of support to reward
youth start-up initiatives particularly in the tourist sector.
Article 7
Tourist sector undertakings
In agreement with the Foundation and with social and economic signatories, in close collaboration
with Cortina Marketing/SEAM, the Council intends to implement all strategies and actions to promote
Cortina's role in the national and international tourist panorama.
Specifically, we intend to take advantage of the World Alpine Ski Championships as a moment of
fundamental importance for the revitalisation and repositioning of the locality renown and the local
tourist system.
Strategies should focus on enhancing and promoting excellence in the area and the identification of
any critical issues to be addressed and possibly eliminated. It is agreed that the model of hospitality
chosen should focus on authentic local features that should be inspired by its history, tradition and
culture.
It is agreed that it is important to carry out a careful analysis of the benefits that the event could bring
with it, in particular in terms of identifying and attracting new potential tourist markets.
It is understood that most of the action set out in this Memorandum of Understanding (infrastructure
development, in the public sphere, ski lifts and hotels, the promotion of commercial activities, the
development of human skills) are essential elements in the implementation of a strong and profitable
tourist strategy.

The Cortina Winter Sport Sustainability Charter

Having regard to:

Resolution 68/217 of the United Nations entitled Sustainable Mountain Development dated
20 December 2013;
The UNESCO World Heritage and Sustainable Tourism programme;
The Rio+20 declaration of 2012 entitled The Future We Want;
Decision CP21 of COP 21 at the Paris UNFCC in December 2015;
The Alpine Convention (1991) and its Tourism Protocol;
The EUSALP European macroregional strategy;
Decision 33COM 8B.6 of the World Heritage Committee designating the Dolomites as a
World Heritage Site (2009);
The UNESCO Overall Management Strategy for the Dolomites adopted by the Board of
Directors of the UNESCO Dolomites Foundation of 21 December 2015;
COM(2011) 021 - Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the
Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions
A resource-efficient Europe-Flagship initiative under the Europe 2020 Strategy;
COM(2011) 571 - Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the
Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe;
Decision No. 1386/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 November
2013 on a General Union Environment Action Programme to 2020 Living well, within the

COM (2014) 398 - Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the
Towards a circular economy: A zero waste programme for Europe
The fourth report on the State of the Alps of the Alpine Convention Sustainable Tourism in
the Alps (2012).
133
Considering that:

The inclusion of a site in the World Heritage List is an important tool to be used for
sustainable environmental, social and economic promotion of the site;
The Alpine World Ski Championships are an international event held at mountain resorts with
extraordinary landscapes, which could provide global visibility to areas rich in biodiversity,
and natural and cultural heritage;
Since 1995, the IOC (International Olympic Committee) , in agreement with UNEP,
recognises the value of environmental aspects of winter sports in application files in addition
to traditional Olympic and sports values;
With their biodiversity and water and wood reserves, the Alps constitute a natural and
cultural living and working environment for close to 14 million people, as well as a major
tourist destination attracting close to 120 million visitors each year;
In light of climate concerns, it is estimated that the average annual temperature in the Alpine
region will rise more than the global average, with less rain in summer, more rain in winter
and less snowfall;
Winter sports still constitute a factor of economic development for many Alpine destinations,
but like any human activity, they also have direct and indirect environmental impacts on the
mountain ecosystem, constituting a sector that is particularly vulnerable to climate change. In
particular, the production of artificial snow entails equipment investment and maintenance
costs, despite the water used being returned to the waterways in the spring;
Winter tourism is a changing sector in the Alps, due also to expected pressures on low-
altitude ski resorts in coming years, in terms of reduced snowfall and probably increased
energy costs;
The Alpine tourism sector is affected by initiatives by national and local governments and the
private sector, aiming to measure its environmental, economic and social sustainability at the
local, regional and international levels;
Sustainable tourism is a key element in developing an Alpine green economy model based
on efficient resource use.
134
Acknowledging that:

In 2009, UNESCO recognised the Dolomites as a World Heritage Site for their aesthetic and
landscape value, and for their scientific importance at the geologic and geomorphologic
levels;
The Alpine World Ski Championships are a unique opportunity for global visibility, which, if
managed according to sustainability criteria, can contribute to economic development and to
creating wellbeing for the region;
Winter sports still constitute one of the factors for the economic development of the Alpine
tourism sector and are directly and indirectly responsible, in addition to the economic
wellbeing of residents;
Already, various lift equipment and ski slope managers are taking all possible initiatives to
minimise impacts on the mountain ecosystem, reduce pressure on water resources
(construction of basins), create synergies with other sectors (e.g. basins for civil protection
use, greening of slopes for grazing), create technological progress to optimise and improve
the efficiency of resource management;
Managers of skiable areas are well aware that the true heritage of Alpine tourism is its
unique natural environment, and that it is their responsibility to provide tourists easy access
to it;
There is growing and solid public and private technical experience in measuring the
sustainability of tourism and major events, including for winter sports (2013 Schladming
Alpine Ski World Cup and 2013 Val di Fiemme Nordic Skiing);
Local administrations and sector operators agree on the need to carefully measure the
changes in the winter sports sector in coming years in order to adopt adaptation and
corporate strategies that combine economic and environmental sustainability;
Measurement of the sustainability of winter sports constitutes a priority in order to define
appropriate policies and measurements for such maintenance and innovation and for Alpine
tourism in general.
135
We, the signatories, undertake to:

1.
Include assessing and guaranteeing the environmental sustainability of winter sport

organisation and management on the international agenda as concerns environmental
protection and sustainability;
2.
Pay particular attention to guaranteeing accessibility to winter sports for the disabled;
3.
Adopt a clear, shared and official definition of sustainable winter sports and propose a
system of shared indicators to qualify and quantify their impacts, in particular in terms of
their carbon footprint, water footprint and impact on the landscape;
4.
Initiate a participatory process with local communities to identify the main criteria for the
environmental impacts related to winter sports, possible solutions and areas of intervention;
5.
Consider the Alpine and mountain regions vulnerability to the impacts of climate
change when devising strategies, policies and measures to adapt the Alpine tourism sector,
with a special focus on winter sports;
6.
Define an appropriate reference framework that includes regulations, incentives and

facilities, to ensure that the private sector (e.g. managers of skiable areas, equipment
manufacturers, distribution and retail, restaurants and catering) and consumers avoid
unsustainable consumption models;
7.
Define, adopt and update National Programmes, backed by appropriate resources,

expressly intended for winter sports, guaranteeing both their security and their environmental
and social sustainability. Such programmes should be paired with awareness campaigns in
order to increase the publics awareness of the direct and indirect impacts of winter sports;
8.
Introduce measurable reduction targets for the direct and indirect impacts of winter sports
based on international and European experiences in sustainable tourism and environmental
auditing;
9.
Promote the involvement and participation of all local stakeholders in meeting environmental
sustainability targets, at the same time guaranteeing the security and quality of winter sports;
10. Introduce or reinforce sustainable development education programmes in schools,

promote innovation encouraging energy conservation and improved sustainability policies to
avoid penalising future generations;
11. Promote innovation initiatives to prevent the environmental impacts of winter sports, by
identifying and eliminating obstacles to innovation in the sector;
12. Provide long-term monitoring and reporting of the effectiveness of the actions taken.
