Das bayerische Wirtschaftsministeriums und die Bayerische Architektenkammer haben die einmalige Auszeichnung “Artouro” ins Leben gerufen. Mit dem Preis sollen gelungene Objekte gewürdigt werden, die architektonischen Mut und Weitsicht auf den Tag legen und zudem Urlauber anziehen. Arturo ist deutschlandweit einmalig und wurde am 16. November in München erstmal verliehen.
Aus ganz Bayern gab es mehr als 100 Bewerbungen. Teilnehmen konnten Architekten und Bauherren, die im Zeitraum 2006 bis 2010 touristische Einrichtungen gebaut oder umgebaut haben. Hotel- und Gastronomiebetriebe und touristische Ausflugsziele konnten ihre Bewerbung einschicken. Eine Fachjury aus Architekten, Tourismus- und Marketingexperten hat 20 Bewerbungen für den “Artouro” nominiert. Unter den Nominierten waren auch zwei Bauwerke aus Niederbayern: Die Baum-,Wasser- und Erdhäuser des Hotels Hofgut Hafnerleiten in Bad Birnbach und der 1,3 Kilometer lange Baumwipfelpfad mit dem 44 Meter hohen imposanten Baumturm im Nationalpark Bayerischer Wald.
Von der Verleihung des neu geschaffenen Preis erhofft man sich in Ostbayern eine Ankurbelung des Tourismus – die Auszeichnung könnte das Augenmerk von Liebhabern mutigen Designs auch auf die Region zwischen Bayerischem Wald und Rottal richten. Vielleicht schafft es Ostbaeyern sogar, sich zu einem Ziel für Architekturbegeisterte zu entwickeln.
Die Auszeichnung kann außerdem zu einem Anreiz für die Touristikbranche werden, die Qualität der Ferienangebote weiter zu steigern. Dank der medienwirksamen Auszeichnung könnte sich auch Architektur in Bayern zu einem Trend der Zukunft entwickeln. Ein gutes Beispiel in dieser Hinsicht ist das Baum-Ei aus dem Nationalpark Bayerischer Wald – das Obejkt hat die Besucherzahlen seit der Eröffnung im September 2009 um rund 30 Prozent erhöht. Offenbar hat der zu 60 Prozent mit Wald bedeckte Landkreis sein Ziel erreicht – die Attraktivität des Nationalpark-Besucherzentrums am Lusen zu steigern. In zwei Jahren haben sich über 600 000 Besucher von dem Baumwipfelpfad begeistern lassen.
