Welcome to Tourismusforschung Online, where we delve into the world of tourism research and results in the Alpine region. Our goal is to establish a scientific foundation for high-quality tourism. Our team of experts, comprising researchers and practitioners in the fields of tourism, business administration, economics, ecology, geography, and alpinism, conducts studies and collects data on current topics for sustainable tourism in our life and economic space.

We focus on five research areas: Innovation, Alpine Leisure, Digitalization, Sustainability, and Destination Development. In the Innovation sector, we explore how innovation processes shape tourism companies and destinations. In Alpine Leisure, we strive to understand the behavior of outdoor enthusiasts in mountain regions. With Digitalization, our attention turns to the impact of technologies on business models and the tourism market. Sustainability drives our efforts to explain why entrepreneurs and tourists opt for sustainable practices. Lastly, Destination Development examines the necessary offerings and data required for decision-making.

Check out our projects and contributions, ranging from general topics to inclusive tourism, digitalization, sustainability, and more. Our three pillars, the Tourism & Leisure Research Center, the Ph.D. Program in Tourism & Leisure in Mountain Regions, and the SMEs & Tourism Research Team, ensure comprehensive research and collaboration.
