What about the acceptance of tourism in Kaprun and Zell am See?

in Kaprun and Zell am See focuses on tourism in the focus of a new initiative of eight hoteliers. These have teamed up to find out how the locals perceive tourism and whether it may even be perceived as a burden. This step is particularly relevant because more and more questions about the sustainability of tourism are closely related to the needs of the population.

"When does tourism become a problem for the locals, and how can we better live in harmony with each other?" - These are the basic questions that the working group deals with. The plans provide to introduce a special index to measure the acceptance of tourism in the region. The index could serve as a valuable instrument to take into account both the concerns of the hoteliers and those of the residents.

tourism acceptance in focus

The hoteliers examine an important aspect with their initiative, which is often overlooked in the discussion about tourism: the opinions and feelings of the locals. The residents' concerns, which could be impaired by overcrowding or other loads, are often at a significant criticism. This survey could help to find the balance between economic success and the quality of life of the diversity of the people affected.

The planned index is designed as a dynamic tool to regularly get feedback, which could then flow into the further planning and development of tourist offers. Such measures could play a pioneering role in keeping the region attractive and worth living in the long term.
