First recorded for the sustainable tourism strategy in Leipzig!

A year after the introduction of the tourist sustainability strategy for the Leipzig region, a first record has now been drawn. On May 13, 2025, the third partner meeting took place in the Alte Kranwerk Naunhof, which from Leipzig Tourismus and Marketing (LTM) GmbH and the Tourismus Association Leipzig Region e. V. was organized. At the event, the topics of progress, challenges and common perspectives focus on the event.

The regional top performers presented practical examples of sustainable mobility, major events, regional value creation and acquisition of skilled workers. Demanding but also implementable solutions were presented by actors such as MDV, Stadt-Land-Küche, 4win Recruiting and the International German Gymnastics Festival. In an expert discussion entitled "Sustainable Tourism: Together Together For Forming Development", representatives of Rosenberg Delikessen, Kuhstall e. V., Geopark-Porphyrland, Bad Lausick and the Tourismus Association Leipzig Region e.V. about the most important success factors: cooperation and exchange.

knowledge and progress

The event not only offered the opportunity to network, but also to visit the old crane plant, a technical cultural monument that gives insights into the industrial history of Saxony. In addition, a new brochure on the tourist sustainability strategy of the Leipzig region was presented. This summarizes the central goals, focus issues and measures of the strategy and includes aspects such as environmentally friendly mobility, local value creation, attractive working conditions and the cultural heritage.

The brochure is available in both digital, barrier -free form and in printed version and serves as a practical work document and as a guide for the strategic development of the destination. www.leipzig.travel/zenzecken/ sustainability provides further information on sustainable offers in the region.

outlook on future collaborations

The good practice examples presented showed the current status of implementing the sustainability strategy and offered valuable insights into the experiences, wishes and challenges of the participants. A next partner meeting is already being planned for 2026, which illustrates the ongoing cooperation and development of sustainable solutions in tourism. The conclusion of the event can therefore be assessed as positive, and the continuous development in the tourist sustainability strategy remains in the focus.
