On 14 and 15 July 2021, a flood wave destroyed an entire region and thus also its tourism infrastructure.
Now, fifty IU students from the fields of tourism, event management and food management have developed tourism concepts that are to lead Ahrtal as a tourism region out of the crisis and make it attractive for guests again.
The interdisciplinary projects of IU students and professors Prof. Dr. Margit Bölts, Prof. Dr. Peter Neumann, Prof. Dr. Felix Wölfle and Prof. Dr. David Rempel, who come from the IU campuses in Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Münster, Frankfurt and Nuremberg, among others, are also intended to serve as a blueprint for other crisis-ridden tourism regions.
