A marble run for children, an indoor adventure world or more mountain bikes: Saxony's winter sports resorts are planning further investments and want to score points with tourists regardless of the weather. Because snow reliability is decreasing in low mountain regions, more offers are needed for every season, according to the Ministry of Tourism in Dresden. These are primarily aimed at families with children. The 7.2 million euros from the current "Year-round Tourism" program have been fully exhausted.
"The focus of the approvals to date has been on the winter tourism regions in the Ore Mountains and Vogtland," said the ministry. It is about tourism offers, regardless of snow - whether natural or from a snow cannon. Projects were also approved in the districts of Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge, Mittelsachsen, Nordsachsen and Bautzen. "Here, too, the focus is on active tourism offers that can be used all year round if possible," explains a spokesperson. Tourism Minister Barbara Klepsch (CDU) plans to hand over several funding decisions this week.
