TY - THES AU - Trachsler, Simon T1 - A feasibility study of a chairlift at the «Sollegg» in Appenzell DA - 2010 CY - Chur PB - Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft HTW Chur A3 - Wittmer, Andreas AB - Tourism is affected by constant development of new attractions and infrastructure. The motives are to strengthen the attractivity of a destination, the utilisation of a special value or to ensure the long-term existence of a company. With the idea of a chairlift at the Sollegg, all three aspects are affected. On the one hand, the Skilift Sollegg AG, which operates a skilift there, wants to ensure its continuity and on the other hand, Appenzellerland Tourismus AI aims at creating a new product which would increase the attractiveness of the village Appenzell as a tourism destination. Both companies propose to exploit the value of the Alpstein, which represents one of the most important places to visit in the Appenzellerland. This Bachelor thesis aims to show possible financing methods, as well as approaches for feasibility studies towards tourism infrastructure. Beside a literature review, the research contains expert interviews, in which the requirements and expectations of key stakeholders and possible pitfalls are examined in order to improve the likelihood of success of the project. Finally, all aspects are applied to the feasibility study for a chairlift at the Sollegg. M3 - Bachelorarbeit Tourismus M4 - Citavi ER -
