Steglitz-Zehlendorf bets on sustainable tourism

In a press release dated 28 September 2026, headlined 'Ankommen statt abhaken' ('arriving instead of ticking off'), the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district office addresses the question of how tourism in the district can develop sustainably without putting its special character at risk. The headline presents a model of slow, considered travel: visitors are encouraged to settle in and experience the south-west of Berlin rather than rush through a checklist of sights. The district is known for its lakes, forests and villa quarters. The search excerpt available to me didn't include specific measures, partners or figures, so readers should check the original release for the concrete plans. Note on the date: this release was published on 28 September 2026, not on the requested 29 September 2026. It is included as a fallback because no berlin.de press release dated 29 September could be found during research.
