Tourism should not only "produce" guest arrivals and overnight stays, but also create prosperity and welfare locally and improve the quality of life for the local population. Around the world, and also in Schleswig-Holstein, there are therefore discussions about the attitudes of residents in vacation regions towards tourism and how any shortcomings can be identified and remedied.

Brief study: Securing tourism value creation in the state capital of Kiel
Since 2008, the regional economic importance of tourism for the state capital of Kiel has been calculated every two years, and since 2016 also for the Kiel Fjord LTO. The results of the value creation calculations are one of the statistical bases of the TEK Kiel Fjord 2030. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the state capital of Kiel also recorded a disastrous 2020 travel year and a demand trend for 2021 that was also impacted by the pandemic. With regard to the regional economic importance of tourism for the state capital, this brief study takes a look ahead to the goal of maintaining the major tourism industry value creation successes of 2015/2017.
Brief report Brandmeyer City Brand Monitor 2020
Since 2010, the year of the first Brandmeyer City Brand Monitor, the topic of the "city as a brand" has gained unprecedented momentum. Since then, numerous cities and municipalities have set up new brand processes and much has been researched, written and discussed on the topic of "city as brand". Cities have changed, as have the perceptions and needs of the population.
Was has changed? What has remained the same? Which cities have caught up in the perception of the population? And how well positioned are the cities for future issues from the perspective of the German population?
To this end, a population-representative survey was conducted with 10,000 respondents, which included the 50 largest cities in Germany.
Die Rankings in the City Brand Monitor expressly do not reflect how strong the cities are "objectively" in the various areas, but how they are "subjectively" perceived by the German population .
