Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine visitor management in the German-Swiss border area of the Lake Constance region. Taking a customer perspective, it determines the requirements for an application with the ability to optimize personal mobility.
Design/methodology/approach – A quantitative study and a survey of focus groups were conducted to identify movement patterns of different types of visitors and their requirements concerning the development of a visitor management application.
Findings – Visitors want an application that provides real-time forecasts of issues such as traffic, parking and queues and, at the same time, enables them to create a personal activity schedule based on this information.
Research limitations/implications – Not every subsample reached a sufficient number of cases to yield representative results.
Practical implications – The results may lead to an optimization and management separation of mobility flows in the research area and be helpful to municipal planners, destination marketing organizations and visitors.
Originality/value – The German border cities of Konstanz, Radolfzell and Singen in the Lake Constance region need improved visitor management, mainly because of a high level of shopping tourism by Swiss visitors to Germany. In the Summer months, Lake Constance is also a popular destination for leisure tourists, which causes overtourism. For the first time, the results of this research presented here offer possible solutions, in particular by showing how a mobile application for visitors could defuse the situation.
This paper presents the goals, service design approach, and the results of the project “Accessible Tourism around Lake Constance”, which is currently run by different universities, industrial partners and selected hotels in Switzerland, Germany and Austria. In the 1st phase, interviews with different persons with disabilities and elderly persons have been conducted to identify the barriers and pains faced by tourists who want to spend their holidays in the region of Lake Constance as well as possible assistive technologies that help to overcome these barriers. The analysis of the interviews shows that one third of the pains and barriers are due to missing, insufficient, wrong or inaccessible information about the
accessibility of the accommodation, surroundings, and points of interests during the planning phase of the holidays. Digital assistive technologies hence play a
major role in bridging this information gap. In the 2nd phase so-called Hotel-Living-Labs (HLL) have been established where the identified assistive technologies
can be evaluated. Based on these HLLs an overall service for accessible holidays has been designed and developed. In the last phase, this service has been implemented
based on the HLLs as well as the identified assistive technologies and is currently field tested with tourists with disabilities from the three participated countries.
The Black Forest offers renewable energy as a specific tourist destination in the form of bioenergy villages (BEV). Particularly expert tourists tend to visit them. The results of two quantitative surveys on the supply and demand side show that there is, up to now, an untapped potential among experienceoriented
tourists for this type of niche tourism.
Viele touristische Aktivitäten sind mit einem erhöhten Energiebedarf (Strom, Wärme, Kraftstoffe) verbunden, sodass Tourismus nicht losgelöst von der Energiewirtschaft bzw. deren Klimawirksamkeit zu betrachten ist. Das Projekt befasst sich daher mit der Triade Tourismus, Klimawandel und erneuerbare Energienutzung.
Die Veränderungen des Klimas stellen den Tourismus vor neue Herausforderungen. Um diesen Herausforderungen, im Sinne eines nachhaltigen Tourismus gerecht zu werden, kann der Tourismus dem Klimawandel mit Anpassungs- und/oder Vermeidungsstrategien begegnen (vgl. ELSASSER ET AL. 2000). Im Rahmen dieses Projektes werden sowohl mögliche Anpassungs- als auch Vermeidungsstrategien thematisiert. Ein besonderer Fokus wird dabei zum einen auf die Nutzung von erneuerbaren Energien (EE) gelegt. Zum anderen werden die Entwicklungen des Tourismus und die Anpassungen an die Änderungen des Klimas vornehmlich in Bezug auf den Wintertourismus betrachtet. Räumlich konzentriert sich das Projekt auf das Mittelgebirge Schwarzwald.
Tango Argentino
(2016)
Geographieunterricht ist in besonderem Maße prädestiniert, Mensch-Umwelt- und Mensch-Mitwelt-Beziehungen bewusst zu machen. Hierzu soll dieser Band beitragen, denn Musik wirkt ganzheitlich und lässt uns geographische Sachverhalte nicht nur visuell wahrnehmen, sondern macht sie akustisch "fühlbar" und bringt somit eine neue Erfahrungsdimension in den Unterricht. Da Musik aber auch eng mit Kultur verbunden ist, ermöglichen die 12 Unterrichtsbeispiele zudem Zugänge zu kulturellen Vorstellungen anhand diverser Raumbeispiele.
The Kerala tourism model
(2017)
Sustainable tourism in Kerala is on the rise. Therefore, this South Indian state is assessed according to the sustainable tourism criteria of the Strasdas et al. (2007) framework. Kerala as a state does not qualify as a sustainable tourism destination, although individual success stories at the NGO and government level exist. This conceptual paper delivers a detailed analysis of the three dimensions of sustainability, i.e. ecology, economy and socio-cultural aspects, of the ‘Kerala tourism model’ and discusses the question of whether this model can be transferred to other developing countries.

This paper applies the concept of Soja’s Thirdspace to the phenomenon of Lazgi dance and tourism in Uzbekistan. In doing so it analyses the different levels of perception (including Firstspace and Secondspace) of Lazgi and tourism via an autoethnographic lens. Complemented by expert interviews, the interaction of Lazgi and tourism is examined and characteristics of the Lazgisphere (world of Lazgi) in Uzbekistan are distilled. The results show that Lazgi is often directly or indirectly connected with tourism in Uzbekistan, but even more so serves to reaffirm national identity.
Tourist tracking
(2015)
This paper examines the interdependencies of tourism, Buddhism and sustainability combining in-depth-interviews with Buddhism experts and non-participant observation in a mixed-method approach. The area under investigation is the Alpine region of Austria, Germany and Switzerland, since it is home to Asian and Western forms of Buddhism tourism alike. Results show that Buddhism tourism as a value-based activity on the one hand is not commercial, but since demand is rising, on the other hand tendencies towards more commercial forms can be observed. As a modest form of activity Buddhism tourism does not shape the landscape of the Alpine area and by its nature it incorporates sustainability.
