The Greens in the Saxon state parliament are calling for a greater focus on sustainability in tourism. The term must become a guiding principle, explained MP Thomas Löser. After all, climate change is already having a tangible impact on the offers in the Free State: "For many tourism businesses in Saxony, winter has long ceased to be a reliable business. A lack of snow, rising costs and uncertain seasons have become the new normal."
A tourism policy that consistently focuses on sustainability, adaptation to climate change and long-term management is all the more important, argued Löser. In his view, an answer from the Saxon government to a minor question from him remained too vague.
