More Globalized and more Sustainable and Responsible
Tourism: Consequences for Tourism Management
in the XXI. c.

 

Tourism and Politics in the XXI. century:

- Tourism is getting more and more important in economical, ecological, social terms

- Tourism is happening in the public sphere

- Tourism is threatening it's own resources

- Tourism involves most people on the planet as hosts and guests

 

 

 

 

Consequences:

--> Politicians have to pay more attention to tourism, more institutions, more  regulations

--> Tourism is in danger to lose it's positive image

--> Tourism service providers have to find ways act to keep positive image, earn money without destroying the resources

--> Tourism is much more than just accomodation and transport, there is no "Ursprüngliches und Abgeleitetes Angebot"

--> Tourism service providers have to serve customers and staff from different cultures, have to manage relations with different political and legal systems

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES
FOR THE QUALIFICATIONS NEEDED
TO BE A GOOD TOURISM MANAGER
IN THE XXI. CENTURY?

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Germany, there is no Ministry of Tourism.

The DZT is the main organization to represent Germany as a destination.

A number of associations represent parts of the tourism industry.

Many important stakeholders inside the tourism product (for instance retailers, hosts, cultural offers, public transport, nature, future generations) are not represented at all within the discussions about tourism.

 

 

 

PLEASE FORM THREE GROUPS:

Group 1: Collect arguments for the introduction of Ministries of Tourism on national and provincial level in Germany

Group 2: Collect arguments to support the current situation

Group 3: Collect arguments to develop a new form of a "Tourism Development Council" or some other new structure

 

After 15 minutes, please select two speakers for each group which will give a short introduction of their respective points of view, followed by a plenary discussion.
