discussion about challenges in tourism and agriculture

The future of farming farms and the role of tourism were discussed as an important economic factor in the region. Michaela Kaniber emphasized the need for strong cooperation between agriculture and tourism in order to meet the needs of both sectors.

Martin Lackner expressed his wish to move closer to the citizens as a candidate for the district administrator and to actively shape the future development of the district. Konrad Baur emphasized the connection between economic practice and political dialogue as a key factor for sustainable decisions.

The Junge Union consistently rated the event positively, with a strong interest in political exchange on central topics. Georg Huber, regional chairman of JU Rupertiwinkel, was satisfied with the high participation and achievement of the goals of the event.

sustainability as a key topic

The discussion about the connection between agriculture and tourism refers to larger trends in the region that have already been treated in various scientific work. The role of tourism is often emphasized as an important economic factor, as can be seen in the examinations of the Cinderella and Rein (2023) as well as Baur and Kürten (2023). This work shows that sustainable practices in regional development are of great importance, especially when it comes to the integration of environmental protection and economic development. The 2017 Federal Area Ordinance report emphasizes the relevance of tourism in Germany and offers a basis for discussion about sustainable developments in rural regions.

The connection of practical approaches such as modern manure technology with political initiatives and public discussion is an example of the challenges that rural areas are facing today. Companies such as Georg Huber GmbH & Co. KG play an important role in developing innovative solutions that are both economically and ecologically justifiable.
