Description
The “Mobility Lake” project aims to develop a cross-border,
sustainable mobility concept for tourism and leisure activities in
the Lake Constance region.
The Lake Constance region is a tourism and leisure time destination
with special characteristics. The surrounding four countries
provide versatile nature and cultural aspects, but also create a
demand for cross-border cooperation when it comes to mobility
services. Mobility is necessary for recreation and tourism in the
region, but it can also have a negative impact on the recreational
value. Due to goals for CO2 emissions reduction, scarcity of
resources and energy transition sustainable mobility is becoming a
central topic in the political and social discussions. Especially
nature-orientated tourism destinations such as the Lake Constance
region are facing new challenges.
The challenging situation also leads to new opportunities, since a
well-functioning mobility system is currently and in the future
necessary. A concept of “Sustainable Mobility in the Lake Constance
region” does not only bring additional value for the locals and
tourists, but also gives a chance for the Lake Constance region to
establish itself as a model region for new mobility
solutions.
