Mühlviertel tourism organisation
Client:
Upper Austria Tourist Board

Brief project description:
When the project started, there were four multi-municipality and 22 single-municipality tourism associations in Upper Austria's Mühlviertel. There are also several partnerships in the hotel industry. The Mühlviertel is also marked by very committed entrepreneurship in various industries with a high level of local identity and loyalty. These include, for example, breweries, agricultural producers and manufacturers.
Strategic principles and an identity were defined as part of a branding process for the Mühlviertel. However, key decisions on the brand could not be made, as the responsibilities for far-reaching decisions of this kind were not clearly defined. In order to advance the branding process, the first thing to do was to clarify the question of a structural and organisational platform for the Mühlviertel.
Key elements of the project:
Development of a sustainable model for a tourism organisation for the Mühlviertel that
- takes into account the structural characteristics of the Mühlviertel
- is currently heavily involved in the branding process and integrates partners effectively in the economic life of the Mühlviertel
- engages partners from outside tourism and from agriculture
- takes the financial situation in Upper Austria into account
- takes into account and summarises the status of the brand discussion.
The model should serve as a basis for decision-making in the context of the formal legal establishment of the new organisation.
