The nationwide tourism initiative IddienSchmëtt "Landtourismus" aims to support future start-ups and existing businesses from the tourism industry and related sectors to develop and realize tourism experience offers for rural areas in Luxembourg - with the help of professional and free coaching workshops!
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
You love Luxembourg’s rural regions and you know about the tourism potential of the countryside? You have had an innovative business idea for a while or you are just thinking about expanding your existing business with a tourism offer, but you don't quite know how to go on about it? No problem - let our team of experts support you. We will accompany you step by step from the inspiration to the more concrete development of your idea!
There are (almost) no limits to your imagination, and we are very excited to learn about your idea! This can be many things:
Extraordinary experiences, e.g. a look behind the scenes or visits to exclusive places, creative hospitality concepts, e.g. in nature, special cultural encounters, exciting and eventful creative workshops and participatory offers. The most important is that your idea...
... can be realized in rural areas or establishes a connection between city and countryside,
... is relevant to tourism,
... fits into the topics: nature, culture, agriculture, culinary offers or local products
... and: can be realized with feasible effort/finances and in a timely manner.
You are unsure whether your idea meets these criteria? Contact us and let's talk about it!

The interregional LEADER project "Landtourismus" unites several Luxembourgish organizations in the aim of developing the potential of rural tourism in Luxembourg. The segment "rural tourism" shows great potential to be further developed as an attractive and promising tourism offer in Luxembourg and to generate added value, new business opportunities and economic benefits for many businesses in the region. The targeted development of this tourism segment can also lead to an increase in the overall attractiveness of the locations and the quality of life of the local population in the rural areas.
