Funded projects

The German Institute for Tourism Research (DI Tourismusforschung) and the Institute for the Transformation of the Energy System (ITE) at the FH Westküste University of Applied Sciences are working on a joint project with the Federal Association of the Camping Industry in Germany (BVCD) on the regenerative orientation of campsite energy systems.

As part of a three-year research project funded by the Norwegian Research Council, the German Institute for Tourism Research at the FH Westküste University of Applied Sciences is working with its partner university, the University of Southeast Norway (USN) in Norway, and Color Line AS as a practice partner to investigate the reactions of Norwegians and Germans to potential climate-friendly adjustments in short sea shipping in terms of demand (volume) and willingness to pay.

The overarching aim of the research project, which is funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection, is to contribute to more sustainable tourism development by equalizing visitor flows. The German Institute for Tourism Research is responsible for the work packages "Frequency measurement (data generation & sensor technology)" and "Smart Destination Integration" in the project.
