challenges in tourism

But the joy of the increased number of guests also brings challenges. Tourism leader Bettina Bunge warned of the growing competition with abroad and the increasing quality requirements of vacationers. "We have to reconcile nature conservation and tourism," emphasized Bunge on the tourism day. The industry faces the task of taking into account the needs of locals and tourists alike.

An approach to solving these problems could be the creation of attractions that appeal to both locals and guests. The focus is on projects such as the new swimming pool in Büsum and the adventure hus in St. Peter-Ording. The tourism industry is required to find creative solutions in order to continue to keep the region attractive and at the same time to protect the environment.
