What Tourismusverein does

Tourismusverein Bad Hindelang e.V. is a registered nonprofit tourism association (eingetragener Verein) founded on March 8, 2001 in Bad Hindelang, a municipality in the Oberallgäu district of Bavaria, Germany, serving the Allgäu Alps vacation region. The association is a coalition of engaged local citizens from the rental, retail, and craft sectors, and it operates a digital destination portal at bad-hindelang-urlaub.de that lists 56 local accommodation hosts (hotels, guesthouses, vacation apartments), 21 shopping and dining businesses, and 9 craft trades, and supports online booking through integration with Feratel's reservation engine. The platform also bundles third-party services under the Bad Hindelang PLUS guest card (free mountain railway, pool, parking, bus, and ski pass access) and operates the EMMI-MOBIL electric shuttle service for in-destination guest mobility.

The association is governed by two co-chairs (Vorsitzende), Martina Haug and Andreas Berktold, supported by a secretary, treasurer, and four board members (Beisitzer), and employs 59 people. Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed; the financial model rests on membership dues from the roughly 86 affiliated local businesses, supplemented by marketing services and potential booking facilitation through the Feratel integration. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer digital, using the website as the primary SEO-optimized acquisition channel and a Facebook page for organic social reach. The association does not own accommodations, payment rails beyond the Feratel connector, or proprietary intellectual property beyond its local brand and member network; its competitive position is anchored in the depth of its local coalition and the integrated guest-experience stack (PLUS card + EMMI-MOBIL + booking portal), rather than in technology differentiation.
