OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS
according to following SDGs on Tourism4SDGs.org: |
Please indicate very briefly their exemplary or innovative actions and measurable achievements (including quantified results if known) |
|
SDG 12 - Responsible Consumption and Production The tourism sector needs to adopt sustainable consumption and production (SCP) modes, accelerating the shift towards sustainability. Tools to monitor sustainable development impacts for tourism including for energy, water, waste, biodiversity and job creation will result in enhanced economic, social and environmental outcomes. |
We are here on Sylt, we want to support the maintenance of a normal infrastructure on the island - that's why we prefer to work with Sylt companies, buy a lot of things for renting and our life here on Sylt and not on the Internet or on the mainland. |
|
SDG 13 - Climate Action Tourism contributes to and is affected by climate change. Tourism stakeholders should play a leading role in the global response to climate change. By reducing its carbon footprint, in the transport and accommodation sector, tourism can benefit from low carbon growth and help tackle one of the most pressing challenges of our time. |
we have an old house and that should and can be seen quietly. Not all walls are straight, not all angles are 90 °, this is an old building and it should stay that way! |
|
SDG 14 – Life below Water Coastal and maritime tourism rely on healthy marine ecosystems. Tourism development must be a part of Integrated Coastal Zone Management in order to help conserve and preserve fragile marine ecosystems and serve as a vehicle to promote a blue economy, contributing to the sustainable use of marine resources. |

Measurable achievements:

|
SDG 15 – Life on Land Rich biodiversity and natural heritage are often the main reasons why tourists visit a destination. Tourism can play a major role if sustainably managed in fragile zones, not only in conserving and preserving biodiversity, but also in generating revenue as an alternative livelihood to local communities. |
Exemplary or innovative actions: |
|
SDG 8 - Decent work and Economic Growth Tourism, as services trade, is one of the top four export earners globally, currently providing one in ten jobs worldwide. Decent work opportunities in tourism, particularly for youth and women, and policies that favour better diversification through tourism value chains can enhance tourism positive socio-economic impacts. |
We have always rented permanent living space to very, very nice people who work on Sylt. The old consumer association remains inhabited even in winter and in the quieter times and exudes life and cosiness. |
|
SDG 17 - Partnership for the Goals Due to its cross-sectoral nature, tourism has the ability to strengthen private/public partnerships and engage multiple stakeholders – international, national, regional and local – to work together to achieve the SDGs and other common goals. Public policy and innovative financing are at the core for achieving the 2030 Agenda. |
The aim is to create the symbiosis of historical architecture and modern comfort |
