Tourism Upper Bavaria Munich
The Verein Tourismus Oberbayern München eV is the umbrella organization for the tourism industry in Upper Bavaria, including Munich . The association was re-established at the beginning of 2015 with its headquarters in Munich after the former Munich-Upper Bavaria Tourist Board went bankrupt in 2012 .
history
Predecessor association
The Tourismusverband München-Oberbayern eV (TVMO) was founded in 1937 as the umbrella organization for Upper Bavarian tourism. On December 1, 2009, it had 255 ordinary members and 47 extraordinary members. It also had a number of other members, such as mountain railway and shipping companies, hotel and restaurant organizations, campsites, some private landlords and other organizations.
In 2012 it became known that the association had violated the funding regulations of the European Union for years . As a result, the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs stopped paying out subsidies with immediate effect in July 2012 . A short-term injection of funds from the members in the amount of 250,000 euros could only delay the end. When repayment claims in the amount of hundreds of thousands of euros arose, the association filed for bankruptcy on October 8, 2012 . The public prosecutor's office is investigating board members and managing directors.
Start-up
A successor association was supposed to start work on January 1, 2013, but the establishment was delayed due to internal debates between the local tourism associations. The new foundation with Tourismus Oberbayern München eV finally took place at the beginning of 2015 with headquarters in Munich.
tasks
The tourism association takes on supraregional marketing functions and the coordination of marketing for 14 destinations in Upper Bavaria, which according to the Bavarian State Office for Statistics are designated as tourism regions throughout Bavaria .
Allocation of the Upper Bavarian tourism regions
In addition to the state capital of Munich , which is represented under its own name, the 14 destinations include six districts , which are (mostly) marketed under different regional names: Alpine region Tegernsee Schliersee (Miesbach district), Berchtesgadener Land (Berchtesgadener Land district), Chiemsee-Alpenland (Rosenheim district), Chiemsee-Chiemgau (district of Traunstein), Ebersberger Grüne Land (district of Ebersberg) and Tölzer Land (district of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen).
Three other regions refer to district associations under the name:
- Inn-Salzach ( Mühldorf am Inn and Altötting )
- Munich area ( Freising , Erding , Munich , Fürstenfeldbruck and Dachau )
- Upper Bavaria cities ( Neuburg-Schrobenhausen and Pfaffenhofen as well as the county-level city Ingolstadt ).
The remaining four regional names refer to three communities of communities, once supplemented by a city and once by a district:
- Ammersee-Lech ( Diessen , am Ammersee , Utting , which in Swabia located Buchloe and the city of Landsberg am Lech )
- Starnberg Ammersee ( Bernried am Starnberger See , Dießen am Ammersee , Münsing , Seeshaupt and, as the core area, the district of Starnberg )
- Zugspitz region ( Farchant , Oberau , Eschenlohe , Grainau and the Garmisch-Partenkirchen market )
and the only region of Pfaffenwinkel that has been historically occupied since 1756 (core area: Weilheim-Schongau district ).
Delimitations
Berchtesgaden with the county land area equal and funded by him tourist region Berchtesgaden is not the same as the region Berchtesgaden in the southern part of the county.
The region designated as Chiemsee-Chiemgau (Traunstein district) is again not identical to the Chiemgau cultural landscape or only covers a sub-area of this cultural landscape.
The name of the Starnberg Five Lakes Region, which was listed in 2017 with the district of Starnberg as its core area, was replaced by the Starnberg-Ammersee tourism region, which has been listed since 2019 . Regardless of the change in name, the tourist region has always comprised only part of the five lakes region, which is larger in terms of its cultural landscape .
