Anna Frieser is a Researcher at the Chair of Human Geography, part of the Faculty of Philosophy at Julius-Maximilians-University Würzburg. Since 2022, she has focused on regional economic impacts of tourism in protected areas, particularly within Germany’s National Natural Landscapes.

• Education: M.Sc. in Applied Human Geography (2021), B.Sc. in Geography (2018)

Her research spans tourism economics, sustainable regional development, and spatial analysis of visitor behavior. She contributes to projects quantifying tourism’s economic value in nature parks like Lüneburger Heide, using extrapolation methods for national assessments.

Recent publications emphasize spatial patterns of visitor mobility, economic valuation frameworks, and sustainable tourism strategies in biosphere reserves and national parks. She collaborates with institutions such as Alfred Toepfer Academy for Nature Conservation and Bundesamt für Naturschutz.
