by the landscape and the unique ecosystem. The community of Krummhörn depends on the presence of tourists (social impact) as an important sector of the economy, maintaining employment as well as income levels. In addition to these positive effects, some stakeholders mentioned that tourism also disrupted daily life and negatively influenced the landscape and environment. However, all stakeholders expected an increase in tourism in the coming years. The tourism sector works with ecosystem services associated with typical regional images such as grazing cows, the water and coastal areas and the structured and idyllic character of the community of Krummhörn. Due to changing land uses some stakeholders feared that the attractiveness of the landscape might decrease. It was considered very important to maintain the typical character of the region.
