Strategic pillars of sustainability

Strategic Pillars of Sustainability

Our Path to a Conscious Future

Sustainability is not an option for us – it is the foundation of our actions.

To realize our vision, we have defined four strategic pillars. They form the foundation of our sustainability strategy and combine clear goals with measurable measures. From preserving Algund's unique nature to social responsibility, sustainable economy, and lived culture.

These four pillars are more than a concept. They are our promise to you, to nature, and to future generations: Algund should remain a place that not only inspires but also endures.
Sustainable Management
Our Measures for

Sustainable Management

  • Organizational Anchoring: The tourism strategy is supported by the Sustainability Roundtable working group (consisting of politics, administration, citizens, and local businesses).

  • Public Accessibility: The entire strategy is made publicly accessible on the Tourism Association's website.

  • Monitoring & Measurability: Continuous data collection of municipal energy and water consumption. Expansion of monitoring to include specific tourism indicators (e.g., percentage of sustainable arrival, local value creation).

Goal: Creating a transparent and participatory structure for sustainable tourism.
Socioeconomic Sustainability
Our Measures for

Socioeconomic Sustainability

  • Local Value Creation: Initiatives such as the farmers' market and communication of local producers promote cooperation with the local economy. We strengthen the local economy by promoting regional products and services.

  • Labor Market: We support fair working conditions in the tourism sector.

Goal: Strengthening the local economy and creating jobs through sustainable tourism
Cultural Sustainability
Our Measures for

Cultural Sustainability

  • Protection of Cultural Heritage: Continuous improvement and preservation of hiking trails and the Waalweg as an important testimony to the cultural landscape and irrigation tradition.

  • Preservation of Identity: Promotion of products and traditions that shape Algund's identity. Development of tourism offerings that convey intangible cultural heritage in a respectful and authentic way.

  • Visitor Management: Development of a visitor management concept for sensitive areas (e.g., Waalwegs during high season), to avoid overcrowding and ensure the cultural experience.

Goal: Preserving and promoting Algund's cultural heritage.
Ecological Sustainability (nature and environmental protection)
Our Measures for

Ecological Sustainability (nature and environmental protection)

  • Sustainable Mobility: Operation of the Citybus and expansion of cycling paths. Through the Algund Guest Pass, we promote the use of public transport and reduce individual traffic. The interactive map Algund.maps further promotes car-free movement on site.

  • Resource Management: Use of Adige water for irrigation (no drinking water). We promote the reduction of energy and water consumption in tourist facilities and advocate for "Refill" stations for guests. We promote sustainable consumption and waste prevention.

  • Protection of Biodiversity: Protection of biodiversity and habitats. We integrate the natural garden competition and alpine biodiversity into tourism communication.

Goal: Protecting natural resources and minimizing the environmental impact of tourism.
Cooperation and Transparency

Cooperation and Transparency

We are convinced that we can only achieve sustainable tourism development in Algund together. Therefore, we value cooperation:

  • We work together with other municipalities and the district community.
  • We network with organizations in the field of sustainable tourism.
