Tourism in the Blue Land
Tourism is a classic cross-sectional industry. Regardless of whether it is the hospitality industry, retail, service providers or suppliers such as regional producers and craft businesses, there is hardly an economic sector that does not benefit from tourism.
It is therefore worthwhile for municipalities and companies to invest in tourism-related infrastructure, specific products and tourism marketing. This makes it all the more important to make clear the impact and relevance of tourism for the economy in the study area. Tourism generates revenue and contributes to financing public budgets through tax revenue. As a job driver, tourism offers people with many different professional qualifications and employment relationships (from seasonal workers to full-time positions) income opportunities. It creates and secures local jobs.
It also directly contributes to improving the local infrastructure through instruments such as the tourist tax or the tourist tax. This benefits guests as well as locals and local companies. A place’s commitment to tourism pays off – in euros and cents for all sectors. At the same time, it increases the attractiveness and quality of life for locals and guests.
