28. future work
o determine what data are desired by tourism promotion organizations
o best adapt their offer to hikers and target them more precisely
o determine what data are useful for a better hiker experience
o data collection for scientific purposes and for touristic destinations
o determine the expectations of the health-care community
o explore accident prevention and promotion of physical activity
