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.

Exemplary or innovative actions We would like to give you an insight into our idyllically located Bioland farm, which is located on a terp in the old marshland on the edge of the tranquil village of Süderdeich, away from the noise of the street. Enjoy holidays and relaxation with us in the fresh North Sea air on an actively managed organic vegetable farm behind the North Sea dykes. The extensive landscape is ideal for long walks and bike rides. Here you have the opportunity to unwind.

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.

Exemplary or innovative actions: Bioland farm

Measurable achievements- :If you travel by electric car, there is an e-filling station in the yard. You can also charge the e-bikes you have brought with you in our bicycle storage room.-- Due to our proximity to the North Sea, we are one of the regions with the most sunshine. This not only benefits the guests, since 2005 we have installed over 1200 square meters of photovoltaics on the roof areas of our courtyard buildings. With this we can generate up to 120 kWp of electricity.- The Dithmarsch North Sea coast is one of the windiest locations in Germany. With the energy transition, our region is not only determined by its vastness, windmills have increasingly been integrated into the landscape. Since 1992, the Wollatz farm has had two wind turbines that we renewed in 2014. Now we operate three Enercon E82s with our neighbors and with them enough electricity for over 6000 single-family houses.- We cover our hot water requirements and also part of the heating requirements by means of our 20 square meter solar collector surface on the farmhouse roof. In order to further reduce the energy requirement in the house, we decided in favor of radiant wall heating with earth building technology as part of the renovation. This enables us to work with low flow temperatures. We have energetically renovated our vegetable cooling system for over 400 tons of vegetables and now operate it with much more compatible refrigerants and more efficient motors. We also monitor the cooling and compression rooms so that no coolant can escape unhindered.- We want to get away from oil and have already equipped one of our houses with a geothermal heat pump, now we want to convert the farm and seek advice on further CO2 optimization.

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.

Exemplary or innovative actions:

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:

We are happy to provide you with an insight into the daily operations in agriculture.

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.

Exemplary or innovative actions: We are the fourth generation to continue running the farm. Convinced that organic farming was the right way to go, Eggert Wollatz converted the business as early as 1987. Since then, the company has been managed according to Bioland guidelines. We, too, are convinced that only with nature can we farm sustainably for generations.

Measurable achievements:

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.

Exemplary or innovative actions: With a child-friendly atmosphere and natural contact with many animals, we are a child's dream. There is a spacious courtyard with comfortable seats and beach chairs in which you can relax. Our swimming pond with its beach section also invites you to linger. Are you looking for pure relaxation and want to leave your daily routine behind you, then our sauna house with sun terrace is just the thing for you.
