Beach volleyball at Wörthersee: Hannes Jagerhofer is looking for financing paths

Von WOM

Hannes Jagerhofer is on the road with an ambition by Carinthia, which throws both enthusiasm and hurdles. His goal? A comeback of the beach volleyball on Lake Wörthersee. He has recruited supporters and possible sponsors since late summer. Despite the positive response, however, he has not received any significant financial backing from the public sector. This raises the question of which alternatives Jagerhofer may have to be considered.

It is striking that both the city of Klagenfurt and the state of Carinthia have rejected their financial support for the event. This decision is understandable in view of the current financial situation. Those responsible have to do justice to a possible mismatch if they should spend hundreds of thousands of euros for an event at a time at many places.

In addition, institutions such as Carinthia advertising and Wörthersee tourism have also decided against financial participation. This was done after detailed discussions and also taking into account the strong demand during the high season at Lake Wörthersee, which increases the challenge for the project. The discussions and ultimately the decisions make it clear that the economic situation of the region must also be observed in cultural and sporting initiatives.

Here the question arises how Jagerhofer can implement his visions if the desired support cannot be accessed in the expected form. The examination of alternative financing models could prove to be necessary to advance the comeback of the beach volleyball at Lake Wörthersee.

For many fans of the sport, it remains to be seen whether Jagerhofer succeeds in finding creative solutions or convincing potential sponsors from the private sector. However, the hope of a new chapter in beach volleyball on Lake Wörthersee is unbroken, even if the way there remains stony.
