uThesis

Wie erhalten und fördern wir in der Region einen attraktiven Lebensraum, die Lebensqualität der hier lebenden Menschenund unsere Arbeitsplätze?

Ÿ The base for a successful tourism region is sustainability, which means a

balance between ecological, economic and social needs!

Ÿ The questions are

- how to protect and develop the landscape?

- how to create possibilities of income for the people?

- how to create and develop possibilities of further education?

- how to support and develop the local culture and recreation possibilities?

If all these needs are balanced, tourism possibilities for all budgets

and ages can be offered and the beauty of the landscape can be maintained!

Sustainability in the Landschaftspark:

uConclusion

Ÿ Landscape development, mobility, education, culture and other local

circumstances are closely linked with tourism!

Ÿ Tourism can be further developed, when the basic conditions of the region

are sustainable and the communes work together!

Ÿ Tourism can be further developed, by creating a „destination“ with special

interest points and when the unique local character is identified and

highlighted!

Ÿ To make tourism and the local circumstances sustainable, a public

participation is necessary: finding oneself and self-commitment!
