Tourist-Info

What Tourist-Info does

Tourist-Info Gemeinde Pfofeld is the official municipal tourism information office for the Gemeinde Pfofeld in the Fränkisches Seenland (Franconian Lake District) of Bavaria, Germany. It serves visitors to the Brombachsee area from a physical office at Seestraße 12a in Pfofeld-Langlau, as well as through the municipal website (pfofeld.de), an email newsletter, and its role in the regional Gästepass Seenland Card program operated in partnership with the Tourismusverband Fränkisches Seenland. The office provides accommodation referrals, activity information (water sports, hiking, cycling), event calendars, dining guides, and local transportation guidance to tourists and day visitors, with a secondary informational function toward local residents.

The service portfolio is structured as a core Tourist-Info function with modular add-ons: the Gästepass Seenland Card (visitor discount program), Unterkünfte Vermittlung (accommodation booking assistance), Wasseraktivitäten (water-based recreation information), Natur- und Wanderangebote (hiking and outdoor activity information), the Brombachsee Express shuttle (Line 699), the Veranstaltungskalender event calendar, and a newsletter subscription service. Technology is built on a TYPO3-based content management system (inferred from the fe_typo_user cookie), YouTube video integration, and the Data-Result analytics service; the entity operates no proprietary software, no mobile app, and no disclosed APIs.

The business model is that of a public-sector municipal tourism authority rather than a commercial enterprise. Revenue is generated through the tourism tax (Kurtaxe/Kurbeitrag) collected from visitors by the municipality, supplemented by municipal budget allocations. Customer segments are primarily tourists and day visitors to the Brombachsee region, with a secondary segment of local residents. The entity is wholly owned by Gemeinde Pfofeld (Mayor Marco Kleemann) and holds the "Staatlich anerkannter Erholungsort" designation from the Bavarian State Government, which underpins its regulatory authority to levy the tourism tax and serve as the official destination information provider.

Broad incumbents

• Deutsche Zentrale für Tourismus (DZT): National tourism board for Germany promoting the country to international visitors. Comparable as an official destination-marketing and visitor-information organization, though at national scope, providing a broader context for the kind of services Pfofeld's Tourist-Info provides at municipal level.
• München Tourismus: City DMO for Munich, much larger in scale but comparable in function (visitor information, accommodation referrals, event calendar, guest passes). Serves as a broad-incumbent reference point for how a Bavarian municipal tourism office operates, albeit at city scale.

Direct peers

• Allgäu Tourismus: Regional DMO for the Allgäu region in Bavaria, providing visitor information, accommodation referral, activity booking and guest card programs across a multi-municipality destination. Similar function and target audience (Bavarian domestic and European leisure travelers).

Comparable DMO model: visitor information, accommodation referral, guest cards, activity booking for lake-based leisure travelers, with multi-municipality governance similar to Pfofeld's setup inside the Seenland network.
• Tourismusverband Fränkisches Seenland: Regional DMO covering the broader Franconian Lake District of which Pfofeld/Brombachsee is a part. Directly comparable as a destination marketing and visitor-information organization with the same geography, customer base (tourists visiting Fränkisches Seenland lakes) and offering mix (accommodation referral, guest cards, events).
• Starnberger See Tourismus: Regional tourism office for the Starnberger See / Ammersee lake area south of Munich. Comparable small Bavarian lake DMO with similar services: accommodation referral, water and outdoor activity information, event calendar, guest card programs.
