Tourism-Wunderland Woerrstadt: Guest contribution with no!

Woerrstadt, Deutschland - In the community of Woerrstadt, tourism has made decisive decisions: the plan to introduce a guest contribution was rejected. With the amount of two euros per overnight stay, initiators of the proposal wanted to generate additional income that should flow into the tourist infrastructure of the region. But the local council was unable to support such a measure. The main reason for the rejection was the worrying financial situation of the municipalities.

In particular, the board members of the tourism association were severely affected by the situation. With regard to the survey of the members who pleaded for a pro course, those responsible saw the guest contribution as an unnecessary burden for the guests. They emphasized that the attractiveness of the region should not be increased by additional fees, but by high -quality offers. According to the Allgemeine Zeitung, the uniform consensus was that tourism should not be hindered by fees.

financial considerations

An important aspect of the debate was the financial situation in Woerrstadt and the surrounding communities. It was theorated that additional taxes would ultimately make it more difficult for the smaller providers to remain competitive. Despite the need to invest in the tourist offers in the long term, the guest contribution did not seem to be the right way to achieve these goals. Instead, the members advocated alternative financing options and stronger collaborations.

The discussion about the guest contribution made it clear how important it is to involve all stakeholders in the decision -making process. At the meeting, among other things, it was pointed out that tourism is not only an economic factor, but also a cultural heritage that needs to be preserved. It is important to create attractive offers and at the same time to keep an eye on the existing regulations and fees.

alternative solutions and outlook

The focus of the talks now stuck to alternative solutions for the financing of tourist projects. Suggestions such as sponsorship, partnerships with local companies or the development of new funding are under discussion. The goal is to continuously improve the infrastructure without burdening the visitors at additional costs.
