Tourism is more dependent on a functioning ecological and social environment than almost any other industry. The high level of vulnerability and sensitivity to climate change, for example, is no longer just a dream of the future, but a reality in the here and now.
The requirements of tourism stakeholders are very different. For sustainability strategies, this means a high level of complexity and a good understanding of the respective environment and networks.
Sustainable measures are essential in order to maintain a balance between the environment, culture and nature in harmony with tourism in the future. This is the only way to make your region and the tourism businesses in it fit for the future. We analyse where you stand and work together to develop sustainable, future-proof concepts for your destination - in dialogue and for the benefit of as many stakeholders as possible.
Recognising the growing quality demands of guests and turning them into a competitive advantage, countering the shortage of skilled workers, building up local added value, becoming a leading business in the region - we help you to position yourself clearly. We will show you how to improve your sustainability performance and communicate your goals, plans and measures correctly.
Tour operators are the link between demand and supply, as they select the individual services through to the destinations as a whole and bundle them into package holidays. In Germany alone, over 30 million package holidays are organised every year, generating a turnover of over 25 billion euros. Tour operators are therefore key multipliers for influencing the supply chain, such as incoming agencies, as well as travellers - we help you to develop sustainability and minimise negative influences.
In many companies, there is a need for travel-intensive activities. Apparently. After all, there are a variety of alternatives to (too) frequent flying that make working methods more sustainable regardless of location and across national borders - both within teams and in customer projects. The quality of the service or product is by no means at the back of the queue. Remote working even offers social and ecological opportunities.
Alongside agriculture, the tourism industry is the sector that will be most affected by climate change over the next 50 years.
At the same time, the demand for sustainable travel has been increasing for years, according to the Reiseanalyse (RA) of the Forschungsgemeinschaft Urlaub und Reisen (FUR). This is not only an opportunity for tourism providers to expand sustainability - it is also a signal that travellers' demands for environmental protection and social compatibility are increasing.
Best practice examples such as the Schmilka Bio- and National Park Refugepioneering regions such as the certified Uckermark and the excellent Mobility concept of the Ammergau Alps show how successful well thought-out sustainability concepts and Sustainability strategies for tourism providers.
Let's recognise the challenges of today and tomorrow together at an early stage and turn them into opportunities. We will show you how and where you can best take responsibility.
We work with you to develop solutions on how you can make tourism sustainable and fit for the future - and contribute to the preservation of your region's cultural and natural treasures in the process. Step by step, because sustainability is a direction of development, not a static state.
