Tourismuszukunft (engl. Tourismfuture) - Institute for eTourism emerged from the same-named blog Tourismuszukunft.de and was founded by Jens Oellrich in September 2006. Along with Florian Bauhuber the blog grew to an important website about eTourism.

In January 2008 Tourismuszukunft organized the first Tourismcamp in the German-speaking world. Deductive to the success of the first camp and the growing demand from the tourism industry, we decided to enlarge our team and offer further services.

Daniel Amersdorffer was the third founder of Tourismuszukunft - Institute for eTourism. In January 2009 we signed a declaration for cooperation with the department of culture geography at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, which will strengthen the collaboration in scientific research.

Today Tourismuszukunft offers several services:

• Consulting: We share our knowledge via individual consulting, presentations, workshops and tutorials with the tourism industry
• Scientific Research: Along with the department of culture geography at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt we evolve and intensify the research of internet development and its relevance to the tourism industry.
• Events: For an intense exchange among the industry and the tourism experts we organize an annual tourism camp "Tourismuscamp" in Eichstätt. The camp establishes to a popular conference for interchange of the internet's latest developments. The "Tourismuscamp" is adapting the form of the worldwide popular barcamps and introduced this conference form in the tourism industry for the first time.
• Publications: The internet journal Tourismuszukunft is the most important mouthpiece of Tourismuszukunft. We publish new information for the tourism industry and discuss new ideas with our readers almost daily. As an additional medium we provide our tourism manual, which should be expanded to a lexicon for the tourism branch.

Disclaimer: Tourismuszukunft is the publisher of the biggest and same-named internet journal for eTourism in the German-speaking world. Tourismuszukunft is the leading thinktank in this area of knowledge. We provide our knowledge via presentations, workshops and tutorials to the tourism branch. Moreover scientific research of social web in tourism and our cooperation with the department of culture geography at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt are parts of our work.
