With a route based on official nature conservation information, the tourism association can, for example, prevent its guests from entering breeding areas, winter resting zones, private property or other sensitive areas or temporarily closed paths.
Tourists and guests have a very high level of trust in the digital content of the destination management organization (DMO) and assume that the published tours are also very well researched, nature conservation compliant and therefore sustainable and legally compliant.
In some regions, tourists are traveling the wrong way and this leads to conflicts with locals and other local stakeholders.
With high-quality content, guests can travel in accordance with the rules and tourism acceptance can be significantly increased.
The basis for such a high-quality tour offer or content is that the respective tourism association or destination management organization (DMO) uses a tour platform or map application that integrates the data from Digitize the Planet as the basis for its digital offer.
The high level of trust in the DMO’s digital content in terms of routing, timeliness and nature conservation compliance ensures that guests can, for example, go on a bike tour or hike with a “clear conscience” and do not come into conflict with, for example, forestry, hunting, nature conservation and landowners.
In many cases, the tourism association acts as a mediator between the various interest groups such as forestry, hunting, nature conservation, service providers, sports associations, landowners, etc. with regard to visitor management.
By using and disseminating the official nature conservation information from DtP, the tourism association underpins its strategically important position.
Only through a comprehensive and professional preparation of all information for tour planning, including rules of conduct, conservation purpose, etc., can the tour become an experience for the guest and thus a sustainable vacation experience and this also in the sense of nature conservation.
