Dagmar Steffen contributes to the book Destination Design

The tourism scientists, Prof. Dr. Harald Pechlaner, Greta Erschbamer, and Nathalie Olbrich, from the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt and Eurac Research in Bolzano, have invited our team member Dagmar to contribute to the publication “Destination Design: Neue Ansätze und Perspektiven aus der Designforschung für die Entwicklung von Regionen und Destinationen.”

Her text “Designtheoretische Zugänge für die nachhaltige Gestaltung von Destinationen” examines the contribution of design science and design to sustainable tourism destinations from a design perspective. Drawing upon design-theoretical models, the chapter utilizes the city of Lucerne as an example to demonstrate how it has successfully emerged as a popular destination, addresses the challenges of over-tourism, and explores strategies for developing more sustainable tourism practices.
