Federal Competition Sustainable Tourism Destinations 2022/23

Destinations throughout Germany were able to put their sustainability efforts in tourism to the test from October 1, 2022. This was the start of the Federal Sustainable Tourism Destinations 2022/23 competition, which was jointly organized for the third time by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation and the German Tourism Association (DTV). Tourism places, tourism regions and cities throughout Germany were invited to apply with their sustainability activities.

Since January 2023, the most convincing destinations among the applicants have presented their sustainability achievements in detail. In spring 2023, the selected finalists were visited by a jury. Tourism destinations that are still at the beginning of their sustainability commitment also had a chance of winning. The winners of the competition were presented with their awards in early summer 2023 at a ceremony hosted by Federal Environment Minister Steffi Lemke in Berlin.

All information about the competition, the application and the conditions of participation are available at www.bundeswettbewerb-tourismusdestinationen.de.
